00:00I want to go back to Cincinnati in the second half because we were just talking off the air
00:03and you said it reminded you of another game but what happened in that second half that really kind
00:09of you know basically put the the Ravens on their heels on defense and really did a number on them
00:14okay so Joe Burrow has always been a get the ball out quickly guy the best way to get the
00:18ball out
00:18quickly is to go to the shotgun and they did a lot of under center in the first half and
00:21Burrow was
00:22running for his life and they pressured him on most of the plays but in the second half they had
00:26six quarterback hits all in the first half they went to the shotgun Burrow got the ball out quickly
00:30and not only did the Ravens not have an answer for that defensively they didn't have adjustment that
00:34they could make but then they missed a bunch of tackles on top of it and that obviously led to
00:38even more trouble Burrow also hit too many of his deep shots without the Ravens doing it but being
00:43in the shotgun seeing the field right off the bat the game it reminds me of is a 2013 sorry
00:482012 AFC
00:49championship played in January of 2013 when Joe Flacco did exactly that down seven to six at halftime
00:55there's good audio of that of Harbaugh basically telling Caldwell we gotta we gotta you know throw
01:00the ball around a little bit more in the second half and and sure enough he came out and shotgun
01:03New England had no answer for it and the Ravens won the second half 21 to nothing in that game
