Ravens Roundup: Week 10
Is Sunday really Sunday if the Ravens aren't playing?
The Ravens Are Really Good at Making Everyone Think They'll Lose to the Browns
In week two the Ravens were down by a score of 20-0 before coming back, and here, in week ten, the Ravens didn't take the lead until the third quarter. Nonetheless, Baltimore is now winners of two straight and sit atop the AFC North alone, with a half-game advantage on the Steelers – which could get pushed to a one-game lead should Pittsburgh lose to the Cowboys.
Thursday Night Football Continues to Be the Worst
The overwhelming sense of dread that must fill an injury-laden team when they see a Thursday night game on the schedule must be unimaginable, and against the Browns, Baltimore's fears became a reality. Standout rookie and left guard Alex Lewis was forced to depart Thursday's game after an injury to his leg. Lewis' exit continued a troubling trend for the Ravens' offensive line, which has been plagued by injury all year, and while his X-Rays came back negative, there is still no timetable for his return.
"Small World, All Her Friends Know of Me. Young Bull Living like an Old Geezer."
No, your TV was not freezing. During the Browns game, Joe Flacco and the Ravens broke out in celebration by, well, doing nothing. Known as the "mannequin challenge," Baltimore simply froze in place after taking the lead in the third quarter. While Ricardo Louis of the Browns wasn't having any of it, props to whoever's idea this was and to the whole team for execution.
