Webb Gets His Kicks In Ravens' Win Over Denver

BALTIMORE (AP) ― When the Baltimore Ravens set out to halt their three-game skid against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, they knew they had to get off to a quick start in the third quarter.

Rookie Lardarius Webb took the game plan personally.

Webb, a third-round pick out of Nicholls State, returned the second-half kickoff 95 yards for the pivotal score in a 30-7 victory.

"Coming out of halftime we needed a big play, a big drive," wide receiver Kelley Washington said. "Just to get it off the special teams, a kick return, that will take the momentum out of any team."

Webb fielded the kick at the 5 and liked what he saw when he looked up field.

"The guys up front, they got their man and they stayed on them for more than a second. That's something we worked on all week," Webb said. "I just did my part and ran. I ran as fast as I could."

Webb was drafted in the third round because of his experience as a defensive back and kick returner. He fielded 11 kickoffs with the Ravens before taking No. 12 for his first NFL touchdown.

"The opening came at the last minute," Webb said. "I thought I had messed up and took the wrong way."
