With the Ravens threatening at the New England Patriots‘ 13-yard line on third down-and-7, Flacco tucked the ball after finding no receivers and ran towards the left sideline.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) From the very first play, Ray Rice and the running Ravens made the team of the last decade look old, overmatched and, oddly, inept.

They were the better team from start to finish.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) From the very first play, Ray Rice and the running Ravens made the team of the last decade look old, overmatched and, oddly, inept.
