Ravens Superb Game Enough To Overcome Raiders' Equally Splendid Performance

It was a battle between the top two teams in the league as the Raiders and Ravens faced off this past Sunday. A good game was expected, and these two squads definitely delivered on that. Very few mistakes, if any, were made in this match by either team. The Raiders went 21-for-23 while the Ravens completed 7 of their 8 in pass attempts! A game this superb has probably never been played in the history of the CFL. And a game this flawless could only be lost by the team who committed the first turnover, but then again, these two team played so well that this game didn't contain a single one. Every single score was answered by the other team with another score. So it was that the Ravens defeated the Raiders 50-41 in dramatic fashion. Edwin gunned the ball about half the distance of the field to an outstretched receiver; Hernan hauled in a spectacular catch over Frank and the rest was history! The Ravens scored an incredible four kickoff returns for touchdowns, with Javy accounting for two of them. On the Raiders side of the ball, Sanchy went 11-for-11 in catch attempts turning out 4-first downs and 3-touchdowns. This Sunday the Raiders get their first crack at Christian and the surprising Patriots, while the Ravens get their second shot at the Eagles as they seek to go up a critical 2-0 on the defending Champs this season. After last week's performance, the Ravens are clearly distinguishing them one of the top teams in the league, if not thee top team, and a victory over the Eagles in Week 7 would only further support that argument.
