“A lot of teams would fold their tent in this situation – not the Ravens, it’s not going to happen”. It will mark the fifth time in seven games that the Ravens are playing away from home and their fourth cross-country trip of the young season.

Monday night’s game between the Cardinals and Ravens – two teams going in opposite directions – was sloppy, slow, and baffling at times.
The safety reveled in the fact he was trending, which is par for the course after getting a pick like he did on nationally televised “Monday Night Football”.
Harbaugh was also upset about Chris Johnson’s 62-yard run in the third quarter. The Ravens had to settle for a field goal, potentially losing what could have been three or four additional points.
– It was a weird red-zone day for the Cardinals. Carson Palmer threw a pair of touchdowns, no interceptions and completed almost 70 percent of his passes.
The injury is a significant blow to a team that has struggled on offense and is 2-5 after its second blowout loss of year. We’re clearly told that when the play is dead, they’re supposed to stop.
– Again, though: Chris Johnson, quite the free-agent signing.
The Baltimore Ravens host the San Diego Chargers in one of the National Football League games on Sunday, November 1 start time at 2:00 PM ET, at MT&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD.
When the Cardinals were up by ten in the 4 quarter Andre Ellington came in to give Johnson a few rest.
After ESPN had the Cardinals ranked the highest last week at four, the drop two spots to six.
The 30-year-old remained alive to the fact he had not been grounded on a short-yardage gain, when he rolled on to the stomach of Ravens nose tackle Brandon Williams, and Johnson stood up and continued his run while much of the Baltimore defense stopped, only being halted at the eight-yard line. “Like I said, I’ve got to go up and make that play”.
The Ravens would start at their own 45 yard line after the miss and Kyle Juszczyk and Justin Forsett both picked up 11 yards each on the Ravens first two plays from scrimmage.
Arizona used the blitz perfectly, yet, it nearly cost them the lead late.
As mentioned in the players to watch article, Drew Butler and Tyrann Mathieu for the Cardinals were the ones that you needed to keep your eyes on and they did not disappoint.
Butler had struggled on his punts this season, but he looked improved in this game. His net average was 48, which was five yards more than his average in the team’s loss to the Steelers.
A 26-10 lead seemed comfortable before Jackson burst up the middle to block Drew Butler’s punt to set up the final Ravens touchdown. Obviously, in a tight game like this, that’s going to be a critical play. Defensive tackle Calais Campbell had three tackles for loss, and linebacker Deone Bucannon led the Cardinals with nine tackles.
“It’s important that the referee recognizes that, it’s important that the player gets a visual signal”.
This was nowhere near a flawless game for the Cardinals, but a win is a win.
