In my opinion, this group was the most potent for the Ravens on the offensive side of the ball.

Joe Flacco only got sacked once in the first 58 minutes of this game, and he had time to throw on several drop backs. Although they did struggle a little to start off the game, this group put up a very solid performance.

In the running game, this was especially true. They paved the way for Justin Forsett, as he averaged 6.4 yards-per-carry on the day.

However, the O-line messed up when it mattered most, giving up two sacks on the Ravens last two offensive plays of the game. It was a 23-16 game at the time, and the Ravens were inside the Bengals’ 30-yard-line with under a minute to go.

Grade – B- (mainly for not coming through in the clutch)
