A quick glance at the final score, a 34-17 win for the Ravens, would make people think this was a cakewalk for Baltimore. A slightly longer glance at the stat line with 294 rushing yards for the Ravens, would make people think the Cowboys were obliterated in a demoralizing fashion.
While that’s somewhat true, it’s not entirely accurate. The reality is that the Cowboys had almost as many total yards as Baltimore and ten more first downs than them. But missed opportunities on offense turned what very well could have been a close game into a blowout by the end.
