Week 8: Finally a WIN! Ravens beat the Broncos ending their winning streak

FINALLY!! We got a win! This was a great win & confidence builder. Ray Rice & the offense played well again. Our special teams rookie: Lardarius Webb, had a huge return for a TD. Our defense shut them down on the run & forced a fumble recovery early in the game. Overall they played well & got a well deserved win. Hauschka even redeemed himself kicking a 43yd field goal. Another redemption was Mark Clayton who caught several huge passes to get us down the field. The Broncos were shut down most of the game, Orton couldn't connect with his WRs & we did a decent job keeping targets out of his sights. A lot of the tight defense came from an improved coordination from Mattison. "The linebackers gave defensive coordinator Greg Mattison credit for putting them in the right position. Johnson said the Ravens were more “multiple” this game and he was freer to “do more things than normal,” like blitz." -BR.com Our defense definitely came out to play, Jarret Johnson is emerging as a new play maker in the pass rush & coming up big with a huge sack. We showed we are still a leader in defense & our offense is a force as well. Now we just have to do the same thing next week as we play the Bengals again next week & have to get a win to get back to a lead in our division.
