Good game this NFL Saturday. Baltimore at Dallas to close down the Texas stadium. The Ravens running backs spoiled the party for the boys singlehandedly. The game was close late in the fourth quarter with the Ravens leading 19-10. The Cowboys scored to make it 19-17 and the crowd was all pumped up for a Romo-powered comeback. But within 18 seconds, the Ravens scored a 77 yard rushing TD. Romo answered back with just 1:36 left in the game to make it 26-24. But guess what. The Ravens scored again in 18 seconds with Le'Ron McClain rushing for a 82 yard TD to put the game away and suck the air out of Dallas. This is not like the Bartimore Ravens at all. They usually don't score this much or this fast. I guess the Dallas D is this bad. This game puts the Cowboys in a tough spot as far as making the playoffs go.
If the Ravens can do this even semi-consistently, I won't be surprised if they go all the way and win the Super Bowl. There are many teams that seem to be coming on late this NFL season. The Indianapolis Colts and the Carolina Panthers come to mind as 2 other teams that may be legitimate contenders after a shaky start to the season. Peyton is in full form right now. He threw for 364 yards and 3 TDs on Thursday to take care of the Jacksonville. I am not sure if anybody wants to play the Colts in the playoffs especially if they get their running backs in gear. The Panthers are another interesting team. Their game tomorrow against the other 11-3 team in the NFC, - the Giants, should tell us more about where both these teams are headed. This is a fun time of the year as we try and get the playoff lineups all figured out.
