The Ravens put to rest any concerns over playoff jitters by playing one of their best first halves of the season, jumping out to a 21-0 lead over the rival Steelers, and holding on for a 28-14 in their Wild Card round opener.
Let’s take a look at some grades.
Offense
Overall: A
The Ravens had 464 yards of offense, including 299 on the ground, and were particularly on fire in that first half — generating 308 of those yards and going 7-8 on third downs in that decisive half of play. When they had an opportunity to turn to the pass game in the 2:00 drill, they were impressive, and scored that third touchdown of the half with a pass to Justice Hill with :02 left.
