I'll be totally honest...I flipped back and forth between the Bachelor Pad finale and the Ravens-Bengals game last night, and was fast asleep for kickoff of the Chargers-Raiders game that followed. BUT that doesn't mean that I still can't tell you what happened!
- in short the Ravens were the BOMB! They join the Jets, Redskins, Flacons, and Bears by putting up 40 points or more in their 2012 season openers. And while Joe Flacco and his new no-huddle offense racked up 430 yards, no turnovers , and only punted twice; the Ravens famed defense, led by veteran Ray Lewis did their part to make sure the Cincinnati Bengals had no chance to win. The Ravens won their 11th straight home game 44-13. NFL teams beware, the Ravens now have an offense to go along with their always strong defense.
- as for the second MNF game Phillip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers managed to pull out a win mostly by avoiding making the same mistakes that the Oakland Raiders made: 3 botched punts, no touchdowns until late, etc. The Raiders were also missing some of their "big play" wide receivers like Jacoby Ford due to injuries. The Chargers were also missing key offensive players but Rivers managed to work with what he had avoid any major blunders and pull off the 22-14 win.
That takes care of Week 1, how am I doing?? Let me know with your comments or on Twitter @gridiron4girls
