Well, the Houston-Baltimore game was... close. That's about all that can be said about it. Two good defenses and two crappy quarterbacks made for some ugliness, and Flacco just managed to suck less. It probably helped that Jacoby Jones apparently bet his life savings on the Ravens this week and that Yates, well, is Yates.

Apparently Flacco whined recently that he wasn't getting enough credit for the Ravens' successes. He has a decent arm and, given sufficiently bad coverage, can have some really good games. But he folds under pressure and makes too many poor decisions, and I haven't seen that change any. Still, I hope like hell that he can turn it on against the Patriots.
