Team Notes

With his second catch of the game, TE Todd Heap became the 23rd tight end in NFL history to record 400 catches in a career. Heap is just one of five active tight ends to post 400 catches.
RS/CB Lardarius Webb returned a kickoff 95 yards for a TD today to produce the 4th KOR-TD in team history (5th including playoffs). Baltimore last posted a KOR-TD on 12/9/07 when Yamon Figurs ran back a 94-yarder vs. Indianapolis.
Forced by S Ed Reed on RB Knowshon Moreno, LB Terrell Suggs registered the 11th fumble recovery of this career today. Suggs' 11 FRs rank 2nd most in team history.
WR Derrick Mason pulled in the 19th receiving TD of his Ravens career today. With the scoring grab, Mason passed Michael Jackson, Qadry Ismail and Derrick Alexander for 2nd in team history. TE Todd Heap currently stands 1st with 32 receiving TDs.
With his throw to Mason, QB Joe Flacco now has 26 career TD passes, moving past Tony Banks (25) for 3rd on the Ravens' all-time list. (Kyle Boller is 2nd with 45 and Vinny Testaverde is 1st with 51.)
Flacco has completed 14 straight passes during the second half for a combined 156 yards. His 80 percent completion rate over the course of the game (20-of-25) ties a Baltimore franchise record set by Elvis Grbac twice in 2001.
Baltimore’s defense limited the Broncos, who entered the game with the NFL’s No. 9 attack (368.7 ypg), to season lows of 7 points and 200 yards. The 200 yards are the fewest a Denver team has produced since 2003 (10/26), when the Broncos were held to 194 yards by Baltimore. (Played in Baltimore, the Ravens won that game, 26-6.)
In all 4 of their wins this season, the Ravens have scored at least 30 points. Baltimore is averaging 28.4 points per game and has posted at least 30 points in 9 of the last 11 regular season wins dating back to last season.
Boasting the NFL’s top 3^rd-down defense (26.9%), Denver entered today having not allowed an opponent to convert a 3^rd down in the 2^nd half in 4 straight games and just 2 in the 2^nd half all season. However, the Ravens were successful on 3^rd down today, going 11-of-18 (61%). Baltimore was an impressive 6-of-8 (75%) on 3^rd down in the 2^nd half alone.
The Ravens produced 24 points and 189 yards in the second half. Denver, who entered today with the NFL’s No. 2 defense, came into the game allowing an NFL-low 10 points and 605 total yards in the second half this season.
Flacco started the game 6-of-11 for 19 yards. After that, he completed 14 straight passes for 156 yards and 1 TD. Flacco tied the Ravens’ single-game record for highest completion percentage (80%).
Mason pulled in the 19^th receiving TD of his Ravens’ career today. With the scoring grab, Mason passed Michael Jackson, Qadry Ismail and Derrick Alexander for 2nd in team history. TE Todd Heap currently stands 1st with 32 receiving TDs.
