Predictably, the Ravens vastly superior talent prevailed over the hapless Cleveland Browns, despite being surprised early. Obviously, the elite Ravens took the talent-challenged Browns too lightly, as they allowed three unanswered touchdowns.
Of course, the final result was never in doubt, once the Ravens got serious.
Sadly, some fans delude themselves into thinking it would have been possible for the Browns to make a final ten yards in twenty seven seconds after Pryor's catch on the ten yard line.
This was, of course, impossible, as the Ravens dominant defense had tired of toying with their feisty prey. However, the point was moot, as Pryor blatently taunted a Ravens defender, drawing a flag to move the team back to the thirty yard line.
This judicious call was really an act of kindness, since it would have been heartbreaking for overly optimistic Browns fans to watch the futile scoring effort which would have ensued.
The Ravens must take the Browns seriously next time around, and build up a 20 or so point lead in the fourth quarter before giving their second team players some repetitions.
The Browns did show faint glimmers of hope for the distant future, as Corey Coleman could eventually emerge as an above average receiver.
The officials deserve congratulations for a job well done.
