After the Bengals made it a game again, and got with 4, the two teams went in opposite directions. Flacco directs a 95 yard drive, then they come back and tacks on the 3 points, and I(and probably everyone) got the feeling that it was about time for the Bengals and Dalton to blink. That's what they do against good teams. And blink they did...

The thing that struck me, was at that moment, the Reed pick-six, I saw a team that was a super bowl contender doing what it should do against a pretender, and that is crush the life out of them with brutality. Suddenly the Ravens pass rush was ferocious, and the hits in the secondary exceptionally jarring. It was men against boys.

The Ravens were teeing off at that point, and I actually started worrying that Dalton was going to get seriously hurt out there.
