Coming into their Week 11 match-up against the Carolina Panthers, the Ravens had never won a regular season game in Carolina, but the combination of a bad Carolina offense and a solid team effort by the Ravens helped change that.
In the first quarter, Joe Flacco threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Houshmandzadeh to give the Ravens the early lead 7-0. Then Billy Cundiff kicked a 22-yard field goal to extend the lead to 10-0 after one quarter of play. In the second quarter, the Panthers kicked a field goal to get on the scoreboard and make it a 10-3 game. The Ravens answered with a 1-yard touchdown run by Ray Rice to add to their lead 17-3.
In the third quarter, both the Ravens and Panthers added field goals to make the score 20-6 through three quarters of play. In the fourth quarter, the Panthers connected an 88-yard touchdown pass to cut into the Ravens lead and pull them close for the first time all game. Billy Cundiff added his third field goal of the game to give the Ravens a little breathing room, 23-13.
Later in the quarter, the Ravens scored two defensive touchdowns within eleven seconds of each other. The first came on an Ed Reed interception, which he returned to the ten yard line and pitched to Dawan Landry who took it into the end zone. The very next play, Ray Lewis intercepted a pass and returned it in for a touchdown. Within eleven seconds the Panthers went from being in the game to being blown out and would have no other answers as they fell 37-13 to the Ravens.
The win was the first for the Ravens in Carolina during the regular season. The Ravens record improved to 7-3 as a result of a solid defensive effort. The Ravens return home in Week 12, as they will face off against the 7-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The defense will need to continue to play well to shut down the surprisingly good Buccaneers offense.

Ravens Week 10 Recap
In the first Thursday night game of the NFL season, the Ravens headed down to Georgia to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Coming into the game, the Falcons were undefeated at home and the Ravens had struggled on the road for the most part this season. This game was no different for the Ravens, as their road struggles continued in Atlanta.
Through the first two quarters of the game, the Falcons outplayed the Ravens as they shut them out and made it hard for the Ravens offense to get anything going. The Falcons led 10-0 at halftime, but the score did not reflect the Falcons' dominance of the Ravens. The loan bright spot for the Ravens in the first half was their defense who kept them in the game, while they waited for the offense to wake up.
In the third quarter, the Falcons added to their lead with a field goal, which made it 13-0. Midway through the third quarter, the Ravens offense finally showed signs of coming alive as Joe Flacco threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin, which made it 13-7 Falcons.
In the fourth quarter, the Falcons added to their lead with another touchdown, but the Ravens scored two touchdowns (a 6-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Mason and a 9-yard touchdown pass to Todd Heap) to take the lead 21-20. It looked like the Ravens might pull out the win, but the Falcons were able to respond with a touchdown pass with just 33 seconds left in the game to steal back the win 26-21.
Joe Flacco had a good game throwing three touchdown passes, two of which came late in the game to help the Ravens take the lead in the fourth quarter. The offense gained 320 yards, but had two costly turnovers that impacted the outcome of the game. With the loss, the Ravens fall to 6-3 on the season. After having two games in 5 days the Ravens look to get some rest as they get over a week off before their next game and look to rebound when they travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers in Week 11.

Ravens Week 9 Recap
The Ravens took on the Miami Dolphins at home during Week 9. Coming into the game, the Ravens were undefeated at home and the Dolphins were undefeated on the road, so something had to give.
In the first quarter, Willis McGahee caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to give the Ravens the 7-0 lead. The Dolphins scored a touchdown later in the quarter to tie it up 7-7. In the second quarter, Billy Cundiff kicked two field goals to give the Ravens the 13-10 lead going into halftime.
In the third quarter, Joe Flacco threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Mason to add to the Ravens lead and making the score 20-10. In the fourth quarter, Billy Cundiff scored once again to seal the win for the Ravens, 26-10.
The Ravens improved their record to 6-2 with the win and are tied for first place with the Steelers. It was an overall good team effort, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The Ravens next game is Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta. This will be a nationally televised game starting at 7 pm on the NFL Network and in Baltimore on WBAL-TV 11.

Ghost Hunters
Ghost Hunters is a television show in which lead investigators Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson and the rest of The Atlantic Paranormal Society, TAPS, investigate places throughout the country that have been reported to be haunted. Once they arrive at the site, Jason and Grant walk around the property with the owner who usually describes any strange activities that have occurred at the site.
After this has occurred Jason, Grant, and the TAPS team use electronic equipment, which they believe is capable of detecting paranormal activity. They use equipment to record any unordinary data that they use to determine the presence of any paranormal activity. After a few day of review, the TAPS team return to the site and presents their findings to the owner.
New episodes of Ghost Hunters air every Saturday from 7-10 pm on the Syfy channel. They also rerun episodes during the week, usually on Wednesday nights at 9 pm. The show has become more popular over the years, which has resulted in the creation of similar shows, such as Ghost Hunters International, UFO Hunters, and Ghost Hunters Academy.
I have watched this show since late 2007 and really enjoy it a lot. I have become even more interested in ghosts after having my own dealings with them. My friend gave me a stereo as a graduation gift, when I graduated from high school in 1996. In 2000, my great grandmother passed away. After she died, the stereo turned on by itself, without anyone touching it.I thing it was her telling me she is ok. I never believid in ghosts until that time. Now I know they are real even if some people may not believe in them.
