ORIGINAL: cloudboy Query: Had John Harbaugh thrown the fated challenge flag and forced 4th down and a punt -- would the outcome have been different? I think the Broncos still would have won. The momentum established on that drive would have been lost, but Jacoby was out of the game. Flacco was the key to the Ravens' game. In the playoff game, he was making incredible long passes. In this game, his passes were not connecting due to pass rush pressure. If his passes aren't caught, the Ravens have nothing. Part of the Broncos' game plan is to use Manning and his receivers, coupled with the thin air in Denver, to wear down opposing defenses. It worked here - the Baltimore defense was winded and sucking air in the second half.
