NFL Playoffs Scores: Baltimore Ravens Defense Dominates, Drop Miami Dolphins to Advance

Le’Ron McClain and Willis McGahee combined for 137 yards rushing and a touchdown, Joe Flacco threw for 135 yards and had a rushing touchdown and the Baltimore Ravens defense forced five turnovers including four interceptions in a 27-9 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday to advance in the AFC playoffs.

Miami jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first quarter after Dan Carpenter connected on a 19-yard field goal but the Ravens answered with a Matt Stover 23-yard field goal to even the score at 3-3 heading into the second quarter.

As they have done all year, the defensive unit of the Ravens put their team in position to win as Ed Reed intercepted Chad Pennington and went 64-yards for a touchdown to push Baltimore’s advantage to 10-3. That lead was extended to 13-3 with 21 seconds left in the half after Stover hit from 31-yards out.

With the Dolphins offense struggling Baltimore effectively ended the game in the third quarter after McClain scored on an 8-yard run to push the lead to 20-3 and that score held until Pennington found Ronnie Brown on a 2-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth to cut Miami’s deficit to 20-9 after the extra point attempt failed.

Miami had a chance to cut further into their deficit as they drove into Baltimore territory but a 15-yard loss on 2^nd and 10 knocked them out of field goal range and the Ravens put together a final drive that was capped by a 5-yard touchdown run from Flacco.

Baltimore will now travel to face the Tennessee Titans next week.
