One of the more common ways NFL players and coaches sometimes characterize losses is by saying, “the ball didn’t bounce our way.” Or “luck wasn’t on our side” on a few plays that turned the game’s tide.
Judging by the way their matchup with the Dolphins started, the Ravens (-3.5) and safety Marcus Williams will probably find it hard to say they didn’t get the bounces. After Devin Duvernay gave Baltimore an early 7-0 lead on a kickoff return, it was on Miami and Tua Tagovailoa to answer. The quarterback would try to thread the needle on a pass to Tyreek Hill, but Williams broke on the ball for an easy deflection when there wasn’t enough mustard on it. Alright, next play. Moving on.
