Personal Narrative: The Game Of Baltimore

Improved Essays
It was a glorious day for Browns fans as they witnessed something that hasn’t occurred since 2007, a victory in Baltimore. It was a rare sighting, but Cleveland pulled off the stunning upset in an overtime thriller.
At first, it didn’t look to good for the Browns. After three and outs from both teams, the Ravens struck first. The defense was fooled by the fake hand off to Justin Forsett and Joe Flacco went unscathed to score from one yard out.
On the next possession, Josh McCown orchestrated a scoring drive, although it wasn’t quite what fans wanted. The drive ended in a successful 43 yard field goal by Travis Coons.
Unfortunately, the Ravens were unfazed and the Browns defense surrendered a deep 48 yard pass to K. Aiken. This set-up Baltimore

The defense held their ground and kept Baltimore from scoring anymore points in the first half. Additionally, McCown led the Browns on quick drive with just over a minute remaining. Cleveland added three more points before halftime making the score 14-9.
The second half was full of excitement and would not disappoint. Despite Cleveland receiving the kickoff, it was Baltimore who scored first. Joe Flacco rushed for touchdown while jumping over the pile in the process.
So the moment we were all waiting for, the shootout. Despite two successful challenges by the Ravens, taking back two big plays, the next drive resulted in a Josh McCown rushing touchdown. The Browns now trailed 21-16.
After forcing a punt, Cleveland started their comeback. McCown rolled out of the pocket and found Taylor Gabriel open, 56 yards downfield. Two plays later, Gary Barnidge made a circus catch with his legs and rolled into the end zone. Despite a failed two point conversion, the Browns still held a 22-21 advantage.
Several punts later the Ravens took advantage of a short field and regained the lead on a Forsett touchdown. They only had a five point lead after an unsuccessful two point

    They couldn’t be stopped. With five seconds left in the first quarter and at the three yard line, Eli Manning threw a pass to star wide receiver Cole Beasley.

    Last Sunday the Buccaneers secondary just got destroyed by Case Keenum. Honestly, if I didn't know it was the Kennum playing I would have thought Peyton Manning came out of retirement to play in this game. Keenum threw for 369 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Vikings just picked apart Ryan Smith and Vernon Hargreaves all game. On the first drive, Adam Thielen just straight beat Vernon on a double move for 45-yards.…

    Cam Newton's Football

    In football the money quarter is the 4th it's when heroes are made or goats to blame. Sunday quarterback Cam Newton engineered two touchdowns in the final four minutes to seal this victory. Put it in perspective, Newton was 12 for 15 162 yards and the game-winning strike to tight end Greg Olsen with 32 seconds left. My favorite part about this whole thing is the fact that Newton is staying in the pocket looking downfield and trusting his wide receivers not just using his legs to burn defenses. It's so much fun to see his maturity and football IQ continuing to rise every game he threw some absolute frozen ropes where only our receivers could catch them.…

    In the course of the 30 to 20 victory the Bucs did the Dolphins an unexpected favor. That was the injury to starting QB Jay Cutler, in the 3rd quarter. Typically any injury to your Quarterback is devastating to the team; we'll take Cutler as the exception to this rule though. Whilst Jay Cutler was under center, Miami were struggling to move the ball through the air and potentially making pundits wonder why the Tampa secondary was considered so bad.…

    A great trick play that pays off can demoralize the opposition and provide enjoyable memories for years to come. Think of Dan Marino yelling, “Clock,” to delude the Jets into thinking he would spike the ball or the Bills sneaking a defensive lineman onto the field to catch a touchdown on a fake field goal attempt. But trick plays can also go wrong. And when they go as badly wrong as whatever the Colts were trying Sunday night, they bring not admiration, but scorn, mockery and just plain laughter. With 1 minute 14 seconds left in the third quarter, and trailing the Super Bowl champion Patriots by 27-21 and still very much in the game, the Colts had a fourth-and-3 at their own 37.…
