Drops in finale probably sealed end of Mike Wallace's underappreciated run

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Mike Wallace's underappreciated run with the Baltimore Ravens officially ended Thursday night, when the veteran wide receiver reached an agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles.

But his time in Baltimore probably was over after his dropped passes in crushing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the season finale, which eliminated the Ravens from the postseason. Those mistakes were punctuated this offseason, when Baltimore coach John Harbaugh repeatedly talked about getting receivers who can catch the ball. The Ravens then signed John Brown, a younger deep threat who has shown better hands than Wallace over his career.
