Webster's Dictionary defines the word "domination" as "control or power over another or others and the exercise of such control or power." The Baltimore Ravens redefined the word as "defense." That defense harassed Rams quarterback Gus Frerotte all game long, en route to recording five quarterback hits, 12 hurries, five knockdowns, four sacks, and six turnovers. The Ravens turned those statistics into a 19 point victory, crushing the Rams by a score of 22-3 for the 100th victory of their 12 year history. Kyle Boller filled in for the injured Steve McNair (back), and overcame some early troubles in guiding the offense downfield with 184 yards (18 of 30) passing, with one interception. He set up Matt Stover for field goals on five occasions, all of which the ace kicker booted through, tying a personal and team record. Willis McGahee (25 carries, 61 yards) found little running room, but he managed to fight his way for the team's only touchdown. McGahee had another tough touchdown run called back by one of Baltimore's six penalties. Derrick Mason once again led the team in receptions, with five, good for 79 yards. One of those was a bullet from Boller for 28 yards. Mason continues to lead the NFL in total catches, with 49 on the season. Summary: This was perhaps the most complete game the defense has played since Opening Night. While they gave up yardage late in the game--playing in a prevent mode--this unit simply dominated St. Louis at the line of scrimmage. The secondary played especially well, as the excellent coverage led to two of the team's four sacks; welcome back Samari Rolle! A win in the NFL is vital, whether by one point or 21 points. The team is one game back from the division lead, with one game remaining before the bye week. Up next is a trip to Buffalo to take on the Bills. It's time to find another way to win. more here-
