Knights in the NFL -Week 14

After gaining 120 yards of total offense during Baltimore’s 34-28 overtime win Monday night, Ray Rice is our Knight of the Week.

Week 14 had some interesting story lines. From the New York Giants game against Minnesota being moved to Detroit due to the Metrodome roof collapsing, to the New York Jets strength coach making a bone headed decision to trip a Miami Dolphins player. Our former Scarlet Knights were in action once again.

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice gained 54 yards on 19 carries and caught eight passes for 66 yards. Despite not having a huge output, Rice is our Knight of the Week. The back helped the Ravens improve to 9-4 on the year with the 34-28 overtime win over the Houston Texans. Baltimore remains one game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North Division.

Earlier on Monday night, the Giants finally took on the Minnesota Vikings. New York’s center, Shaun O’Hara once again did not play as he continues to suffer from a foot injury.
