Ravens Week 16 Recap

    Ed Reed led the charge as the Ravens won their sixth straight game against the Cleveland Browns. The defense held the Browns to 250 yards of offense and forced three interceptions; two by Pro Bowl bound Ed Reed. The defense only gave up 10 points and only three of those points came after the first quarter. 
    Joe Flacco had two key touchdown passes in the game. The first of those touchdown passes came in the first quarter when Flacco connected with T.J. Houshmandzadeh to put the Ravens ahead 10-7. The second touchdown pass came in the third quarter as Flacco connected this time with Derrick Mason to seal the victory, 20-10. 
    With the win the Ravens improved their record tp 11-4 and clinched their third straight playoff berth. They also have an outside shot of winning the AFC North with a win in Week 17 at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Ravens will also need the Steelers to lose against the Browns in Week 17 in order to win the AFC North and clinch a first round bye in the playoffs.
