Ravens 2004: Week 14: Ravens have last spot in playoff race

Boller had the best day in his young career but I think anyone could have thrown 4 touchdowns against the Giants, probably the worst team in the NFL. Every one will find out what he is really made of in the next two weeks when he will have to play catch up with Peyton Manning and then face the NFL's best defense, Pittsburgh, the following week.

If the Ravens have any hope of winning the game against Indy, they are going to have to do all they can to win the time of possession battle, meaning Jamal Lewis will need to be healthy. Today, Jamal only played in the first half. Its inevitable that Peyton Manning will throw a whole bunch of yards but the Ravens need to focus all their attention on stopping Edgerrin James. The Ravens will have to hope making the Colts offense one-dimensional will lead to interceptions and letting the Ravens do what they do best; returning interceptions for a touchdown.

The game against Pittsburgh will have to be all about Boller. Assuming Jamal Lewis will be healthy, Boller will have to use play-action effectively. The Ravens will need to score early and avoid the 4th quarter breakdown they have been having the past two weeks.
