Redskins/Ravens – Postgame Thoughts

Okay, so the Ravens game was everything the Bills game wasn’t; it was ugly. That being said, it wasn’t without it’s glimmers of hope.

The defense played pretty tough, and got the plays when they needed them. They consistently got off the field on third down. Tackling was solid.  Read more...
