Ravens 29, Raiders 10
- Share via
BALTIMORE -- On an afternoon that belonged to Rex Ryan and his Baltimore defense, the highlight was a 43-yard pass from one Ravens quarterback to another.
Baltimore limited the Oakland Raiders to 35 yards while building a 19-point halftime lead, and the Ravens got a safety and four sacks in a 29-10 victory. The win was particularly sweet for Ryan, whose twin brother Rob is defensive coordinator for the Raiders (2-5).
Rob Ryan had to deal with a surprise wrinkle. The Ravens (4-3) inserted Troy Smith at quarterback and used starting quarterback Joe Flacco as a receiver. In the third quarter, Smith heaved a pass down the sideline to Flacco, who made an excellent grab on the run.
Quoteworthy: “The first half, we just got our tails whipped at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.” -- Tom Cable, Raiders coach
