About 24 hours after he publicly ripped an official for missing a blatant pass interference call and incurring a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty in the first quarter of Sunday's 30-7 victory over the Denver Broncos, wide receiver Derrick Mason acknowledged that his emotional display may have been a little too much.

A Broncos Fan in Need of a Good Tasering

So he’s got his camera angles and everything, and he’s planning to sue the Ravens for tossing him out of the stadium for standing in front of his seat.

No Huddle No Problem

The fact that the Ravens ran 31 plays without a huddle demonstrates how far Joe Flacco has come with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron’s system.
