BALTIMORE (AP) The Denver Broncos went from unbeaten to overmatched during a 60-minute beatdown by the Baltimore Ravens.

Rookie Lardarius Webb returned the second-half kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, and Baltimore ended a three-game losing streak with a surprisingly easy 30-7 victory Sunday.

It was Denver's first loss under rookie head coach Josh McDaniels. The Broncos (6-1) came in with the NFL's top-ranked defense, a plus-7 turnover differential and one of the league's best kick returners in Eddie Royal. Denver had also outscored the opposition 76-10 after halftime.

The Ravens, however, dominated every facet of the game.

"We didn't play our best ball, but they're a pretty good team and they beat us pretty good today on all sides of the ball," Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton said. "We didn't really do a whole lot."

Baltimore (4-3) limited Denver to 200 yards, scored off the game's lone turnover, won the special teams fight and outscored the Broncos 24-7 in the second half.

Well that was a long day after waiting 2 weeks to play. My hat goes off to the Ravens for kicking the crap out of my team. I loved watching the intensity of both defenses even though the Ravens won in that battle.
Ray Lewis still plays like a young man, and still full of class, got to love that guy but only when he is not playing my team

The Bronco's may have learned a lot today about themselves but that is yet to see how they rebound and respond to this beating.
Was a big dissappointment to me as a fan but it was a good defensive battle for awhile anyway. Bronco's, lets learn from this one and come out monday and take it out on the Steelers. Another very tough game for us.
Ravens, good game and very classy with win, you earned it and deserve it.....good luck until we meet again.....Bronco's to the playoffs....
