Observed and heard in the locker room after the Baltimore Ravens' 20-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts:
Hurt by the blitz: The most frustrating part of the game for quarterback Joe Flacco was the inability of the Ravens to capitalize on the Colts' consistent blitzes. "When they come after us, there was a spot to go with the ball and we weren't quite able to make those plays," he said. "You got to credit those guys for having the confidence to come after it and cover in the back end and do their thing. We wished we could have hurt them a little bit more because hey did come after us a little bit and you want to take advantage of that."
Mosley impresses: Rookie inside linebacker C.J. Mosley showed why he was a first-round pick by the Ravens. He was all over the field with a team-leading 14 tackles, an interception at the goal line, a quarterback hit that led to Haloti Ngata's interception and a stop on fourth down. "We all have to catch up to him," linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "We knew he was a phenomenal kid coming in."
Osemele calls injury "minor:" Left guard Kelechi Osemele isn't concerned about his injury even though he had a lot of ice on his right knee. "Yeah, it's not so bad," Osemele said. "Yeah, minor." Osemele was hurt on Flacco's interception early in the third quarter. He initially couldn't put any weight on his right leg, but he was back on the next series.
