The Sloppiest MNF game ever

In case you didn't stay up to watch, last night's Monday Night Football Game between the Packers and Ravens was, statistically, the sloppiest game in MNF history. The game was sloppier than Tiger Woods and how he went about hiding his extramarital affairs.

Seriously, a real player wouldn't have his mistresses name AND number in his phone. You might even think someone with as much cash as Tiger would have a phone specifically set up for his Women On the Side. Either that or set up the, um, "meetings" as you go and don't have any phone contact.

Is it bad that I know so much about that kind of thing?

Back to football.

Some numbers:

-The two teams combined for 23 penalties, totaling a loss of 310 yards.
-Baltimore had almost as many penalty yards (135) as total yards (185).
-Green Bay had nearly twice as many penalty yards (175) as rushing yards (94).
-The squads combined for seven turnovers, including five interceptions.
-Joe Flacco looked like a combination of JaMarcus Russell and Matt Stafford, as he completed 41 percent of his passes (15/36) for 137 yards. That equals out to an average of 3.8 yards/completions. His QB rating (27.2), though, was higher than the combined IQ of the casts of "Jersey Shore" and "The Ruins."
-The Packers and Ravens combined to go 5-10 in the Red Zone.
-On 2nd and 3 from the Green Bay 3 with 8:46 left in the game, Flacco, with the Ravens down, 24-14, dropped back to pass, rolled out as far right as he possibly could, threw across his body to the other side of the field (a no-no for quarterbacks) and was intercepted by Tramon Williams to effectively end the game. The Packers went on to win, 27-14.
