Tuesday Top 7….
7-Derrick Mason
In the first half; he was Flacco’s comfort level. He was the safety net. Not his best game; but thank God he’s there to keep Flacco safe.
6-Haloti Ngata
He didn’t do the amazing; he’s just regularly amazing.
5-Jared Gaither
Didn’t think he was gonna play; but he ended up being stellar.
4-Mark Clayton
Not a great game overall; but the TD really broke things open.
3-Le’Ron McClain
If he can keep doing that in the 4th quarter; the Ravens will continue their 77-0 dominance of the end of games.
2-Jarrett Johnson
The play was amazing; but JJ was outstanding from start to finish.
1-Ed Reed
Is there really any argument?
