IMO this is easily the game of the week, a better game than that Favre fest. After that win in SD, it's hard to doubt McDaniels and the Broncos anymore. That has been maybe the most undersold impressive win of the year IMO.
I think this game comes down to the QBs. Can Orton do it against a good defense on the road? You would think that the Ravens will blitz a lot, bc I don't see them getting a ton of pass rush against the best OL in football. Can Orton bring the big play to combat that? That is the knock on him, that he can't.
And can Flacco navigate a solid defense with a good scheme? Or will Ray Rice be the difference maker in the running game?
Thoughts?
