Indy took the Colts but were unable to take Lewis
30 years after Indy stole the Colts from the City of Baltimore in the middle of the night and today they tried to retire Baltimore (Raven) linebacker Ray Lewis but in the end Baltimore was wake when they tried to retire Lewis and were unsuccessful.
Baltimore took a 24-9 victory over the Colts of Indy with the Antwan Boldin making a 18 yard leaping catch in the back of the end zone to put up the Ravens by two scores and the Colts who put up a total of 419 yards of offence. They were unable to finish off drives as they had a first quarter fumble from Andrew Luck who lost the ball on a sack which ended a 14-play, 59-yard drive which had put them into field goal position before the sack when the ball was on the Ravens 30 yard line. Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri who made his first three kicks in the game and his first 8 kicks in M&T Bank Stadium missed a 40 yard field goal for his first miss @ the Stadium which happened just before the Boldin catch for a TD to put the Ravens up 24-9.
The Ravens got a franchise record in receiving from Boldin who had 5 catches for 145 yards and Joe Flacco do just enough to win the game and not allow the Colts to retire Ray Lewis as he throw 23 passes and only completed 12 of them for an amazing 282 so when he connected it was a big play. rookie Ravens running back Bernard Pierce who carried the ball 13 times for 103 yards While veteran Raven Ray Rice carried the ball 15 times for 70 yards but those two extra carries ended up on the carpet as he fumbled the ball twice and the first was on their opening drive where a miss hand off between himself and Flacco ended a drive that had gotten them into the Colts 10-yard line and looking for a opening statement.
Ray Lewis had his chance in the first quarter to make a statement play when a tipped pass from Luck hit him in the bread basket and then in his face mask before hitting the turf for an incomplete pass. He did make 9 tackles and 4 assisted tackles to led the Raven D and the fans in his final game at M&T bank Stadium wanted Lewis at the end of the game as the Ravens were QB kneeing the ball and Lewis came in as an available receiver as he was at the end of the offensive line to a huge ovation.
So Indy could take the Colts but the Lewis
