Very impressive game from Courtney Upshaw as well. He forced Dalton to overthrow Gresham, deflecting in the hands of Ed. He was stout against the run and got more active in the pass rush area as well. Ngata dominated as well. The D was a bit shaky early, but once the offense put points on the board in the middle of the 3rd, it played right into our hands defensively. Ray was beastly tonight, Pollard was flying around the ball, and I thought the LB core as a whole was really solid.

Offensively, what can you say? Flacco had 299 yards on 21 completions and was just money overall. They had a few miscues, but Joe has improved so much. He's the general, he's making plays against a top ten defense from last year. Rice also benefited with 68 yards and 2 TD's on just ten carries. We did it effortlessly all game it seemed. The OL was solid overall and Harewood, wow! Great game from him. Is it too early to chalk up another steal for Oz? Tucker proved why we kept him over Cundiff. Just an absolute throttling. Great game.
