Recap: Does anyone doubt the impact Steve McNair can have on the Ravens now?

McNair brings life to a stale offense and gets to watch a great defense help him win games as well.

Think that defense isn't good. How about this, they sacked Chris Simms twice, Cadillac Williams had 22 yards rushing, and held Joey Galloway without a catch at all.  How about 142 yards total offense.

Besides Simms getting sacked and throwing three interceptions,  Simms was guilty of having three more passes tipped at the line of scrimmage. 

Last year Tampa Bay had the number one defense. This year it looks like the Ravens or Steelers will be taking back that crown.
