Week 17 | 22 | Baltimore Ravens | 16 | B.Weeden 22-31-352 | M.Ingram 25-83 | J.Gordon 6-109 | 70,000 |
Bernius goes 1-2 in his three starts in place of Weeden but to be fair we were underdogs against both the Lions, who finished the season 12-4, and the Packers who were close behind them at 11-5. Thankfully for us, a pair of losses by the Ravens in weeks 15 and 16 leaves them only a half game ahead of us heading into the final week 17 matchup.
Needing a win, Weeden makes his triumphant return and goes 22 of 31 for 352 yards to lead us to the 22-16 victory, a 9-7 finish, and the AFC North championship while the loss knocks the 8-7-1 Ravens from the playoff picture.
