Though the middle linebackers continued to perform well, the normally fierce pass-rush of the Baltimore Ravens was nowhere to be seen.Terrell Suggswas pretty active, accumulating seven tackles on the day including one tackle for a loss.
However, the NFL’s sack leaderElvis Dumervildid not even get close to recording a sack in this game. In fact, he recorded just one tackle. These games happen, and considering how good of a year Dumervil was having prior to this, a performance such as this was bound to come.
Other than that,Daryl Smithled the charge with 11 tackles and one pass defended. RookieC.J. Mosleyrecorded six more tackles on the day, putting his season total at 126.
