NFL Scores: Baltimore Ravens Punch Ticket to Playoffs with Win Over Oakland Raiders

Willis McGahee rushed for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries, Ray Rice collected 70 yards rushing on 16 carries and Joe Flacco was 11/19 passing for 102 yards as the Baltimore Ravens (9-7) edged the Oakland Raiders (5-11) 21-13 on Sunday to earn a spot in the AFC playoffs.

McGahee put the Ravens in front 7-0 in the opening quarter on a 2-yard run but the Raiders managed to put points on the board in the second as Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 37-yard field goal to get Oakland to within 7-3. Baltimore extended their lead to 14-3 when McGahee scored on a 77-yard run but Oakland stayed close and responded just before the end of the half as Zach Miller hauled in a 12-yard TD toss from Charlie Frye to put the score at 14-10.

Janikowski pulled the Raiders to within 14-13 in the third quarter with a 39-yard field goal but McGahee gave the Ravens some breathing room early in the fourth when he scored on a 2-yard TD run. From that point on it was Baltimore’s defense that preserved the win as they forced a JaMarcus Russell fumble and an interception.
