Finally

The Ravens finally put together a game where they played just well enough to win yesterday. Sure, the offense was not particularly flashy; Anthony Wright played well enough to win, Jamal Lewis averaged only 2.6 yards per carry, the defense contained Curtis Martin, and kept the Jets under 200 yards total offense.

But it is not time for the Ravens or their fans to get too far ahead of themselves. Let's face it, Brooks Bollinger will never be confused with a great quarterback, especially at thi stage of his career. But the schedulemaker gives the team a break, with games against Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago before starting a murderous 5-week stretch on Halloween (at Pittsburg, Cincinnati, at Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, at Cincinnati).

If the Ravens are not 4-2 going into the Monday night game against the Steelers, this time will have a near-impossible time making the playoffs.
