After leading the Baltimore Ravens to a 23-20 comeback over the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was Joe Flacco who heard all the trash talk from Lamar Woodley and several others on the team in the off season who ended leaving Hines Field with a big smile on his face.  It was a perfect non verbal slap.

At least for the regular season, he knows he will be 2-0 against Baltimore’s biggest rival this year and it was a statement win that lets his teammates see that he can perform well in the clutch.  The team is now 6-2 and in great position to win the AFC North and make a run at getting to the Superbowl.  It looks like the team is hungry and focused heading into the second half of the season.

View from Baltimore: Flacco rewrites his script
