The Baltimore Ravens got big-time contributions from running back Gus Edwards in their 31-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. Edwards ran for 80 yards and three touchdowns, making plays happen by using his vast array of skills and moves that he’s developed over the course of his career.
When asked about how key Edwards was to the team’s win, Baltimore defensive lineman Michael Pierce sang his praises for the veteran running back. He mentioned that runs like Edwards had are momentum killers, and said the factor of bleeding the clock down is also “big time”
“It’s awesome, man. That’s a momentum killer, especially when you can bleed the clock, that’s big time. We love to see those drives go as long as they want to go. Like I said, getting those fourth-down stops, just as we see our offense running guys over and having Gus [Edwards] run for three touchdowns and run for 80 yards, that’s huge, man. So, that’s a momentum booster for sure.”
