Every Tuesday, Baltimore Sun blogger Matt Vensel breaks down a critical play, sometimes with input from Baltimore Ravens players, from that week's game. Today, he looks at Ravens rookie running back Bernard Pierce's 21-yard again against the Cleveland Browns.

After an encouraging game against the New England Patriots where Flacco wasn't sacked and rarely hit, he sustained several big hits as the offensive line regularly broke down Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns.

The passing game stands out as a problem area for the Ravens. Dropped balls and quarterback Joe Flacco's lower-than-usual completion percentage are cause for concern.
