Sports fans tend to talk in extremes after any loss.
This week we’ve heard:
— That was the worst game of Flacco’s career.
— The Ravens offensive line gave him as little time to throw as they ever have.
— The Ravens are keeping a sports car in the garage (Jackson) while driving a school bus (Flacco)
When I sat down to score it, I expected more pressure and some extreme results on the line in particular. What I saw was a middle-of-the-road performance from most angles without any truly extreme results.
