If I had a second game ball... Le’Veon Bell. According to Dan Fouts, Bell had 107 yards rushing, plus 56 receiving. The Ravens has no answer for him, and the only times that the offense stalled was when the went away from Bell.
Offense: Dobbsy, Conner, Ben, Fieler (sp?), and the coaching staff for a nice balanced game plan.
Defense: Sean Davis (quietly have a great year), Dline for keeping the running game in check. And Butler, he did a nice job today too.
Goats: Boz, he is really struggling this year, hopefully, he can work this out before the playoffs.
If I had a third game ball... JuJu. According to Mark Madden, JuJu has had to overcome an addiction to Fortnite, Twitter, and YouTube. It’s truly surprising that JuJu is even able to speak, let alone convert numerous crucial third-downs.
JuJu is becoming a big time clutch WR. Even though he had a horrible drop before the half which potentially left points on the field he's been great.
I liked the fact they got the ball to Washington, get his confidence going. I feel like once he makes a big play(feel like one is brewing) he and Ben will start having belief in each other.

How about a game ball for Mike Hilton. He is a little terror for the opposing offense
Anyone see him sniff out the play where Flacco attempted the pass to Lamar Jackson? the Ravens ran that play early in the game in the red zone and LJ was wide open but Flacco of course didn't see him. The Ravens called the play again and Hilton completely knew it which caused an incompletion. Those are the plays Troy Polamalu made every Sunday.
He's a star player.

Gameball: everyone did great. Even thr secondary which I am hard on.
Goats: Unwarranted and inconsistent DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCES .
At this point im not surprised. Flacco made a career on his PI throw. I would like the officials to call some our way too
Everyone giving Boz the goat, I can't really argue with you; you gotta make that kick. *BUT*...
I'm personally glad he missed it in this case. If we had 1 more point on Baltimore's penultimate drive, perhaps they don't bother with the 3 and go for the 1st down conversion. Perhaps they make it. That 1 point changed the complexion of the game and set us up in a good position to close it out.

For two seasons now, every time that Mile Hilton has made a play, I text my bro-in-law the words: “Mike Hilton!!!” Today, I had texted his name so many times that I started to copy & paste his name.
Oh... and I tweeted out these words:
“Mike Hilton is f*cking great. Not good, great.”
Now only if the Ravens can beat the Bungals in their next game. They have a 'bye' next week, beating Cincy would be huge for us.

In the last 5 games, our offensive line gave only 3 sacks and at least 2 of its sacks were a coverage sacks.

Gameball: who do we not give one to this game? Boz, of course. Anyone else?
I will say this, however, another one of those holding calls that would have been a sack goes to Dupree. The Steelers didn't take the holding this time because it was fourth down, but Dupree is beginning to make his presence felt a bit more. He had another play that I thought perhaps he was held on as well.
It was 2 dong sacks too!
