The Baltimore Ravens have had their share of problems this year. His on-field game is rivaled only by his potent quotability, which Smith flashed again Monday night while talking about the refs.
Baltimore (1-6) lost a third game in a row, but once again had a chance to make something happen at the end.
In what is expected to be Smith’s final season, the aging veteran wears body armor to protect his mounting injuries and still plays with a ferocity that has made him one of the game’s indelible characters.
On the very next play, Flacco hit fullback Kyle Juszczyk for a 1-yard touchdown.
Urschel’s resumè almost got another rare addition in Baltimore’s Monday Night Football loss to the Arizona Cardinals after what looked to be a 6-yard reception from quarterback Joe Flacco on his team’s opening drive. John Brown caught the touchdown pass from four yards out as they finally got back into the end zone and for the first time anyone scored a touchdown in the second half.
Head Coach John Harbaugh said he didn’t get an explanation for why the play wasn’t stopped or brought back.
“I can’t hear what they’re saying out there, but it looked like he saw what we were saying and said something and then blew his whistle”, Flacco said.
“[Head official Ronald Torbert’s] said that he didn’t see it”, Harbaugh said, via the Sunday. Runners are always making an effort to go forward. We’ve got to be good enough to overcome those things. It was just too much communication going on for the amount of time we had left and guys were just confused. A 23-yard completion over the middle to tight end Crockett Gillmore moved the Ravens to the 4.
“Dream come true”, Jefferson said.
In an interview Monday with Dallas’ 105.3 The Fan, Garrett played down the altercation that occurred when an angry Hardy stepped into the special teams huddle following New York’s 100-yard kickoff return, slapped at special teams coach Rich Bisaccia’s clipboard, then pushed a teammate before exchanging words with injured wide receiver Dez Bryant.
“I don’t get it”, Ryan said. I kind of want to make my own decisions.
Speaking of the Jets, former Gang Green running back Chris Johnson finished with a game-high 122 yards on 18 carries. Palmer was 20 of 29 for 275 yards with no interceptions.
In three of their four losses coming into Monday’s game, Baltimore held a lead in the fourth quarter.

The Ravens had a chance. Running back Justin Forsett had culminated one of the Ravens’ best drives all season with a nifty 14-yard touchdown run to give the visitors a three-point lead. Especially when you lose both games in Oakland and Arizona. But we’ve been fighting. Asa Jackson of the Ravens was called for unnecessary roughness this time, and the Cardinals would keep the ball just 12 yards shy of the end zone.
