Broncos vs. Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens were down 35-28 when Jacoby Jones caught a 70 yarder from Joe Flacco with only 31 seconds. That would send the game to overtime. Then the game was sent to double OT and that is when Baltimore's Justin Tucker sent a 47 yard field goal through the uprights.

The one player that did the most for the Ravens was no other than running back, Ray Rice. Rice racked up a total 130 yards on 30 carries with a touchdown. He didn't do it alone he had help from quarterback Joe Flacco who had 331 yards with 3 touchdowns. Wide Recievers, Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith were the ones catching the passes most of the time with Smith catching 2 of his 3 passes for touchdowns. Also Boldin had 6 catches for 71 yards.

The Broncos put up a great fight though with Peyton Manning playing well, but not well enough. The main reason the Broncos lost was because Manning through 2 interceptions and Flacco didn't throw any. Plus Knowshon Moreno had only 32 rushing yards, before he hurt his knee getting taken out of the game.

The Final Battle? Lewis VS. Manning

The Denver Broncos have had an extreme regular season run of an 11 game winning streak. Also, Peyton Manning himself has a 9 game win streak over the Ravens, including his time with the Indianapolis Colts.

This could be the final battle for Ray Lewis's 16 year career. Ray Lewis will get 3 more chances to play in NFL games. Ray Lewis will only get to play in all of them if the Baltimore Ravens win their next 2 games against the Broncos and the winner of the Patriots-Houston game.

The Ravens opponent, the Denver Broncos have the top 5 regular season offense. The reason why is because of one off season addition, Peyton Manning. He had a break out season averaging 290 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 67 completion percentage, if Manning can do this the Broncos will be the 65% favorite. But, if the Ravens keep him to a 65% or below completion rating, get 3 or more sacks, and 1 interception. Then, the Ravens will have a 65% chance of winning. Overall the Denver Broncos are the 67% favorite.
