Week 11: Baltimore Ravens (5-4) @ Dallas Cowboys (8-1)

I think that's the nail in the coffin. Offense couldn't sustain the early success, and the defense is tired.

That last drive, Dallas was just taking what the defense gave them; short completions in the soft spots of the zone, 4-5 yards a run.

Time of possession has been skewed heavily in Dallas favor in the second half.

Offense needs to get it going now if they want to get back in this. A few good completions here, and a few bad misses.

Dak's poise in the pocket is not that of a rookie QB.

Something so simple as taking what the defense gives you is something most rookie QBs struggle with

Edit: Come on refs, how do you miss that?

[Bmore Irish]

That facemask on 3rd down may have been a live saver. Still a game. Defense needs a stop here.

No it was. It pains me to say this but I have very little confidence in Flacco to drive the length of the field in the 4th quarter without help from defensive penalties.

He has not had a good year. Idk if the injury is still in the back of his mind, or if he just doesn't trust the line, but he looks skittish in the pocket half the time.

Damn Baltimore, was hoping y'all would end this streak so work could at least be "quieter" tomorrow and Wednesday.

Too many damn penalties and poor game management in the 4th. It was basically over anyway though. SMH.
