Donovan McNabb may have had a ugly-looking stat line against the Ravens, but I think that he still played well. He extended plays and converted a lot of third and longs to extend drives. He also looked much more deliberate than JC when pressured. Besides, most of his completions were longer passes because his yards per attempt was 7.9 but his completion percentage was 42.3%. Moreover, those completions often came on third and longs, which are not converted into 1st downs very frequently, especially against a good defense like the Ravens.
