The Ravens did something yesterday they have not done all season long; score 20+ points. However, they also did something else they have not done since November 23, 2003; give up 40+ points. Boller showed he is not quite ready to relinquish his position has the Ravens quarterback. Boller started the game sluggish but he lit it up in the second half throwing three touchdowns. However, his performance came after the Bengals had taken a 34-0 lead and were playing prevent defense. Jamal Lewis also had a good day, breaking the 100 yard rushing mark for the first time this season.
The Ravens did not leave Cincinnati with just a loss but also with a handful off injuries. Will Demps blew out his knee and will go on IR. Chris McAlister injured his hamstring during the game. The Ravens backfield has also become depleted. Chester Taylor was injured before the game and was not available. Justin Green injured his wrist during the game. Musa Smith will be placed on the IR. This leaves only Jamal Lewis as the healthy running back on the team. The team is expected to look in free agency for a quick fix.
