Ravens Vs Colts Score, Playing keep-away from Peyton Manning is always a priority against the Indianapolis Colts.
Holding the football and a six-point lead at Indianapolis in November, Belichick kept the Patriots on the field for a fourth-and-2 at the New England 28 with just over 2 minutes remaining. The first-down try failed, and Manning quickly produced a touchdown and a 35-34 victory.
The Baltimore Ravens hope to avoid a similar situation Saturday night in their playoff game against the Colts. Their plan is to deprive Manning of the ball early enough so that it won’t matter if he gets it late.
Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has the personnel to make the plan work – especially against an Indianapolis defense that ranks 24th in the NFL against the run. In last week’s 33-14 rout of the Patriots, Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and Le’Ron McClain helped Baltimore total 234 yards rushing in 52 attempts.
The yardage the Ravens gain on the ground will be significant, but time of possession is even more important against Manning and the Colts.
“My favorite thing is to look up at the clock and watch it go tick, tick, tick,” Ravens defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said. “You know what? I can’t be a real bad coach when I’m not out there calling defenses, right? So when Cam’s running the football, I’m the most excited guy there on that sideline.”
Rice should be getting plenty of touches in the first half. Baltimore won’t entirely abandon the passing game, but establishing a ground attack is clearly a top priority.
