The Ravens Were able to get the Flock out of Arizona with a Win

As good as The Ravens are, one thing remains the same. We continuously play to the level of our opponents. Now in some situations, that is a great thing. Especially when we are playing winning, contending teams.
In this case though, it's a bit of a curse. Now, Arizona fans, I in no way want to imply you are a bad team. As we saw with the Broncos and Chiefs, any given team on any given day. What I'm saying is that the Ravens adjust their standards of play and intensity when they play teams with non winning records.
The game started off Offensively much of the same. Tale as old as time, Lamar to Andrews. We even got the Gus bus going with 3 TDs of his own. We just kept letting the Cardinals hang around. Knowing our track record of losing games we lead at halftime, that does not give any Ravens fan the warm and fuzzies!
They even recovered an onside kick!! What?? Luckily, in the end the Ravens Defense was able to stand up and we narrowly escaped with a 31-24 victory!
Next week the Ravens host the NFC West leading (And my wife's favorite team) Seattle Seahawks! They are coming off a narrow win over the Browns, (Which we appreciate!) Should be a very evenly matched game with 2 very mobile quarterbacks! I feel like Seattle has the WR advantage, but M&T Bank Stadium is the great equalizer. Let's see if the Ravens can head into the bye week on a high note!
