Ray Rice, who had a career day versus the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints, carried the Ravens to victory. Rice ran for 153 yards, caught 5 passes for 80 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead the Ravens to a 30-24 victory. The Ravens' rushing attack was very strong throughout the entire game and took some pressure off of Joe Flacco, as well as their defense.
The defense held strong to prevent their 9th blown fourth-quarter lead of the season, as the Saints were on the verge of a comeback late in the fourth quarter, trailing 27-24. Defensive End Cory Redding picked off a Drew Brees pass, to seal the victory for the Ravens.
The win ended the Saints six-game winning streak and helped the Ravens improve to 10-4 overall on the season and 6-1 at home. The Ravens will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, the same Browns team that gave the Ravens a strong challenge in Week 3 in a 24-17 ball game. The Ravens also look to extend their winning streak versus the Browns to six straight.
