Ravens hand listless Broncos first loss
The Baltimore Ravens, losers of three straight games, dropped the Broncos from the ranks of the NFL’s unbeaten yesterday. The Broncos’ first play from scrimmage proved to be an omen for the rest of the game. Ravens linebacker Jarret Johnson delivered a crushing sack of Kyle Orton, and the Broncos never recovered.
While the Broncos still “appeared” to be in the game at the half, down only 6-0, the opening play of the second half sealed their fate. Lardarius Webb returned the kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, and the rout was on.
The previously impenetrable Broncos’ defense gave up 24 second half points, while the Broncos could only muster a lone touchdown in the third quarter. The result, a lopsided 30-7 defeat, sending the Broncos back to the drawing board, as they prepare to host the defending Super Bowl Champion Steelers, next Monday night.
Okay, I’ll still take 15-1.
We did take it on the chin but with this team, their efforts so far this year, their intensity, I expect Monday Night Football to be a skull bustin’ good game. We will rebound and play well, there is just something about the way this team carries itself, I love it………..GO BRONCOS!!!
