‘The numbers speak for themselves. Four interceptions, four sacks and a QB rating of 32.3. Baltimore QB Kyle Boller played a terrible game, yet his QB rating was double that of Bledsoe’s. This was a game that was there for the taking, and all Bledsoe did was throw it away.’

‘Bledsoe said his game plan was "to do whatever we can against a very fast-pursuing defense, to give them some misdirection and create some plays for ourselves." The Ravens’ pressure, Bledsoe said, forced the Bills into a quick passing game in which he sometimes had to "guess" on how a play would develop.’

Transcript of Bills-Ravens post-game quotes (BaltimoreRavens.com)

‘”They talked about me before I came, ‘He’s too old, he should be doing this, he should be doing that,'” said Sanders. “Every time I give up a pass they’re going to talk about me. That was the key thing that Michael Jordan warned me of, he said you have to handle the criticism, because there will be criticism.”‘

‘Bledsoe finished the game going 20/36 for 203 yards, four interceptions and a fumble. He was not helped at all by the offensive line. Bledsoe was sacked four times, and after the game was defensive with the media when asked about the stability of his starting spot under center.’

‘Buffalo has scored six touchdowns this season, zero on the ground.’

‘”It’s good to be back,” said Milloy. “I was a little tired being back in a game situation for the first time, as far as my endurance, but I got my wind back in the second half.”‘

“That was an unbelievably poor call. Ray Lewis just grabbed ahold of Lee Evans, grabbed him right around the waist, basically tackled him. I saw him grab him and I though ‘ok, I just throw the ball at Lee, we’ll get the call, first and goal.’ And instead, they don’t throw the flag, the ball gets tipped and it goes back the other direction. That was as blatant as it gets. Holding, pass interference, we don’t get the call.”‘
