Ravens Reassert Themselves As They Ransack the Rams in St. Louis

Ravens fans can breathe a huge sigh of relief this morning after yesterday's massive win over the Rams in St. Louis. We witnessed two very different ball games Week 1 and Week 2 and many were anxious to see which "Ravens team" was going to show up to play in Week 3. Thankfully, it was the Week 1 team and we were all able to kick back and relax as the Ravens pounded the poor Rams into their own turf. It was great to see Flacco getting the protection that he needed to let the ball fly again this week and be able to connect with receivers, something he struggled with in Week 2.

It was a game full of franchise and even NFL records and was certainly the win the Ravens needed to propel them into their Week 4 matchup with the Jets at home in Baltimore.

Here are some of the headlines this morning as everyone continues to celebrate the success of rookie Torrey Smith and the Ravens finally landing themselves a winning record on the season:

@RavensInsider, Aaron Wilson, doles out his weekly 'Ravens Report Card' and let's just say that this week's Ravens GPA is astronomically higher than last week's. QB Joe Flacco earned himself an A for his performance yesterday which featured 3 TD passes, no interceptions, a career-high 389 passing yards and a 103.6 QB rating. The only disappointment was the performance of Special Teams yesterday, earning a C- from Wilson due to the missed field goal attempts. You can also check out Wilson's article on Torrey Smith's first ever NFL start in which he made an impressive name for himself.
