Ravens win the toss.



Cebastian Janikowski kicks off, PK Sam of the Ravens returns the kickoff 71 yards, taking the ball to the Raiders 32 yardline.

First Ravens possession.

1. Jamal Lewis carries down to the Oakland 27 yardline, a gain of nearly 5.
   
2. Jamal Lewis carries to the Oakland 24, tackled by Tyler Brayton.
   
3. Third and a couple: Steve McNaire pass complete to Todd Heap to the Oakland 20 yardline for a first down.
   
4. 1st and 10: Jamal Lewis carries the ball up to the Oakland 5 yardline where he is pushed out of bounds by Thomas Howard. First and goal coming up.
   
5. 1st and goal: Lewis carries down to the Oakland 1 yardline.
   
6. 2nd and goal: Musa Smith carries the ball and is tackled short of the goalline by Jarrod Cooper.
   
7. 3rd and goal: Musa Smith scores the touchdown, but a flag is down. Holding on the offense, 10 yard penalty, repeat 3rd down.
   
8. 3rd and goal at the 11: Delay of game on the offense, 5 yard penalty.
   
9. 3rd and goal at the Raiders 16: Steve McNaire's pass complete to Derek Mason down to the Raider 5 yardline.
   
10. 4th and goal: Matt Stover to attempt the 25 yard attempt. Its good.

Thoughts: This drive could've been a lot worse if not for 2 Baltimore penalties down near the goalline.
