ravens lose;bengals on the prowl

In what turned out to be a real nail-biter despite the massive 6 turnovers(no that's not a typo) by the ravens we had a chance to tie it up at the end of the game. With a little less than 2 minutes left in the game, todd heap caught a touchdown pass in the back of the endzone that was called back on a phantom flag thrown by the back judge for offensive pass interference. The ref then tried to redeem himself by throwing a flag on a questionable hold to give the ravens a fresh set of downs. In what would be a much debated decision to continually pass; even though a mere two yards out; the ravens luck eventually ran out with a touchdown pass dropped by heap, and intercepted by a diving bengal. The positive to take from this game is that even with all the adversity faced during the game the team came together for a stellar performance of heart if not technically sound. We have also put not just the bengals; but all of the AFC north; on notice. If you don't knock us out we just keep hitting.Hard.

Notable injuries for the ravens include B.J sams out for season(knee), john ogden unknown return(toe), ray lewis unknown return(shoulder), and steve mcnair day to day (groin).

My player of the game: samari rolle, he really stepped up his first game and played with an intensity and passion that most thought wasn't apparent last season.
