Three Quarter stats from week 1

[keg in kc]

Knew this instinctively, although I hadn't thought about it statistically until I reviewed the gamebook to tally the numbers.

Through 3 quarters, Baltimore held the ball for 31:33. Which is essentially an entire game any other week. Some other 3 quarter stats of note:

Baltimore had 346 yards of total offense
Baltimore had 127 yards rushing
Baltimore had 219 yards passing
Flacco was 21-33 for 223 yards, 2 TD and 1 INT

Those wouldn't be embarrassing numbers for four quarters of football. Unfortunately Baltimore had another 8+ minutes to accrue stats.

One more 3 quarter stat, a really, really bad one:

Baltimore was 8-13 on 3rd down (61.5%).
Substat: Baltimore was 6-10 in 3rd and long (5+ yards) (60%).
