That was the Pittsburgh game and if you remember that correctly neither of our backs could run the ball well!!!

Betts had 8 carries for 34 yards and Portis had 6 carries for 17 yards. So that is 14 carries for 51 yards against the #1 run D in the NFL at the time.

Also do you remember the 7 points the Ravens scored off of us due to Betts missing a blitzing Ed Reed and then took a piss poor angle to try to tackle him.
