Deflating losses for the Colts and Ravens.

Unique stat for Jameis Winston.

Career: 0-2 against Mariota. Unbeaten against everyone else.

That stat will probably change though

The difference between the Ravens winning and losing was Flacco not setting his feet right and stepping into the throw, when he could have, on that last toss.

Lot of costly wins in the AFC today. If Suggs is done, Baltimore's screwed. If Cromartie and Mangold are done, Jets are screwed. Not as bad for the Broncos, although DT, Ware and CJ Anderson both went down and looked if any have lingering problems that'll be trouble.

@Ravens
Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles and is done for the year.

Not really. Both win or lose both teams in same position. Both dont look very good and im not worried about playoffs after opening week. Rather see manning embarrassed at home.

I care more about the patriots in the playoffs than about embarrassing Manning.

New ball rules:

Tom Brady, 25-32, 288 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT

Manning, Flacco, Luck: Average of 23-40, 178 yards with a TOTAL of 2 TD’s, 5 INT’s

In 2012, Terrell Suggs tore right Achilles tendon in the offseason. This year, he has torn the left Achilles in Week One. Team announced.

Wanting a weaker team to win so we can avoid a stronger team has nothing to do with smarts.

Actually, it has everything to do with smarts.

Is that allowed to happen?

I see Harbaugh whining and another rule change in our future.

baltimore/denver's D are both legit..
ours looked like hot garbage against the run/pass.

Mangold came back into the game, don't think he's hurt bad. Cromartie's injury looked bad.

Eight 20 yard pass plays? the Seahawks normally give up that many in a MONTH.

Anyone think Kam Chancellor's getting paid after today? Especially as it was his replacement that tripped on that final Rams TD.

Let me repeat myself. They're the champs. 31 other teams are not. That same team you want to avoid? We've beaten them before. More than once. But you can have your "smarts" if you want. Champions can't pick and choose who they have to go through to get the title, the ring, the trophy, etc.

Brady's offense looked legit
Baltimore/Denver's 'O' looked like hot garbage.

The last two plays were weird, Steve Smith drops the game winning TD, and the last play should have been interference, no ifs ands or buts. Don't know what game the refs were watching. Defender never turned around blocking the receiver from catching the ball, hit defenders arm, deflects to other defender. Classic PI.

I give Baltimore credit for not flipping out, after all, they won a Super Bowl on a non call that was definitely interference.
