To Harbaugh's everlasting credit, he first broke out that "mighty men" line at perhaps the season's lowest point, after the shellacking in Indianapolis that was the Ravens' third straight loss after a 2-0 start. From then on, they went 9-2. No wonder Harbaugh can chuckle about it now.
Leaving nothing to chance, however, long before yesterday's kickoff he ordered the Patriots-Bills game off the big screens, where it had been playing as fans filed in and players warmed up. Too late for a few players, of course: "Oh, I sneaked a little bit of a peek," Samari Rolle fessed up.
It hardly shook their concentration, although that wasn't obvious early on, when the offense kept getting in its own way and eventually set up the David Garrard-Alvin Pearman 23-yard scoring play. Was the carnage of the early games (and a few of the late ones) proving to be an omen for the Ravens?
