The Ravens stand at 4-3 today. Why is this is a must game? A loss to Cincinnati would leave the Terps at 4-4 with brutal games remaining against Pittsburgh (2) , Indy, Green Bay on the road. The Ravens will be fortunate to go 2-2 in thes 4 games. That would leave them at 10-6. With the wat Pitt and Cinci are palying , I doubt if one of these teams will get the wild Card.

The Ravens know this and after their weak game plan at Baltimore, I am confident that they will open thins up. Ngata’s absence bothers me because of Cedric Benson’s great first game but the Ravens do have depth at the defensive line. Win the toss, go down and score and don’t let The Bengalsoff the canvas.
