Ravens spend the day defending Flacco after Ed Reed says he looked a bit rattled.
On one hand the Ravens needed a game plan to beat Houston last week. So I would suspect they didn't want Flacco taking too many risks and give Houston a game changing turnover. Essentially...let our defence handle the rook QB, and don't give them any points. A plan that the Ravens were able to execute. Plus the Texans defense did play really well. It's not like the completions Flacco made were easy throws.
This week I imagine it's a different plan involving a more aggressive passing game, and a passing game with more screens. The Ravens know they'll need to put up more than 24 points to win and will plan accordingly. Whether they execute is another matter.
