Bye Week couldn't come at a better time.

This week the Ravens are taking advantage of a much needed restoration after seven weeks of hard-hitting, emotional, nail biting football. In the past two weeks the games have been decided in grueling overtimes.

In Foxborough, the Ravens efforts were stalled as Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots endured through 77 minutes of game action to drive down the field and kick a game winning field goal.

Last Sunday the result was different ending with sighs of relief and smiling faces in Baltimore. After being down 17-3 at one point, the Ravens rallied back to grab a 34-24 lead toward the end of the third quarter. The seesaw game ended with Billy Cundiff kicking a 38 yard field goal for the win.

As exhilarating as those types of wins are, the players are beat up and a little drained. Todd Heap has suffered from neck problems the past two weeks starting with the helmet-to-hemet hit delivered by Patriot Brandon Merriweather. He will surely take this week to rest and let his neck pains heal as much as possible before going back to work next week to prepare for the Miami Dolphins.
