He was a matchup nightmare vs. the Patriots, reeling in 6 rec for 127 yds and 2 TDs. Just wow… In other news, Ravens kicker Justin Tucker tried his best Billy Cundiff impersonation, but couldn’t quite match it as the Refs ruled his FG good.

Defense is key for this team. If they can play good defense, it will allow them to unleash Jamaal Charles and take the pressure off of Matt Cassel. Charles had a huge game last week and looked every bit the back he was in 2010 before his injury, only Todd Haley is no longer the coach so they are now utilizing him properly. However, the defense was horrendous...
