Ravens 7 14 14 0 0 35
Passing: B+
Boller had a fine day finishing with 260 yards on 26 of 33 passing for 3 TD's and 2 int's. Besides those two int's which didn't lead to any points, Boller picked apart the Jaguars secondary all day, with several crucial 3rd and long completions.
Rushing: B+
Lewis finished the day with 106 yards on 34 carries and 1 TD. Not outstanding numbers but his numbers provided a huge difference in time of possession advantage for the Ravens (30:51 vs 21:09). Once again, he didn't fumble the ball, so that's always a good thing.
Receiving: A
Marcus Robinson had 6 catches for 64 yards and 2 TD's, but it was the Todd Heap show as he had 10 catches for 121 yards; 4 of those coming on the 3rd and long situations. Travis Taylor had the other TD reception.
O-Line: A-
Only allowed 1 sack to Boller (a huge moral victory) and opened up just enough running lane for Lewis. Provided Boller with plenty of time passing the ball. Orlando Brown led the way with 13 pancakes.
D-Line: A-
Provided solid defense up front, bouncing back from the disasterous performance against the Broncos to allow Fred Taylor only 73 yards on 22 carries.
Linebackers: A-
The linbackers totaled 16 tackles with 3 going for losses. A solid performance by the defense that did not have to be on the field that often for this game.
D-backs: A-
Did allow Brunell to pass for a TD, but for the most part disrupted the receiever's route and did not allow Brunell to find many open receivers. Knocked down 8 passes as a group.
Special Teams: A-
Chris McAlister is quickly becoming a return man to be feared in the NFL. He returned yet another kickoff 98 yards for a TD and had a fine day returning punts (3 for 43 yards) giving the Ravens great field position. The only blemish on the ST unit was that Stover missed an easy 39 yarder at the end of the 2nd quarter.
