Ravens with huge win over New York Jets. What impressed me most?

 Safety Dawan Landry tackling wide receiver Braylon Edwards in 10-9 win over the Jets.

Don't let the final score fool you, after Baltimore started off poorly with fumbles from Joe Flacco and Willis Mcgahee, the Ravens started getting things in order with the help of an undisciplined New York Jets team.

The defense held strong in pass coverage limiting Mark Sanchez to only 74 passing yards but revealed some wholes in the run defense letting LaDainian Tomlinson average 5.6 yards per carry. The Ravens constantly got the Jets in third and long, mounting the pressure of converting the first down on Mark Sanchez rather than the run game. Offensive stagnancy along with penalties that sustained the opponent's drives kept the Jets' offense from getting and staying on the field.

The most impressive aspect of the 10-9 win last night was the secondary's blanket like coverage despite the lack of all-star pieces. Domonique Foxworth, Ed Reed and Lardarius Webb are hurt so Chris Carr, Fabian Washington and Tom Zbikowski stepped up and shut down any deep balls thrown their way.

Haruki Nakamura, a safety by nature coming of a season ending knee injury, played very well in the nickle at times last night when the Jets split out three or four wide. The longest play though the air for the Jets was a 13 yard pass to Jericho Cotchery.

As Josh Wilson gets more comfortable in a new defense and Lardarius Webb returns in the upcoming week or two, the secondary will only get better. Last night was a statement that the Ravens can win with whomever they have on the field right now bucking against the national media that declared them one of the worst secondary groups in the league.
