Calvin "Megatron" Johnson showed why he gets paid the big bucks... He made one of the most outstanding TD catches over CB Jimmy Smith I've ever witnessed... Ravens broadcaster Jerry Sandusky called it an "Alley Oop off shoulder" reception, something that's almost impossible to draw up on a play diagram...The Ravens unveiled their new no-huddle or "Sugar Huddle" offense...

Curtis Painter at least demonstrated a much stronger command of his offensive unit and a way more powerful arm in the limited time he was given at the end of the game.Joe Flacco was cool under pressure in his limited appearance of 1 quarter... but his offensive unit could not punch the ball into the end zone...which left an open...
