Lights On!

LIGHTS OUT: Tight end Edgar Jones sent Chargers star outside linebacker Shawne Merriman sprawling through the air with a big block that knocked an unsuspecting Merriman to the ground.

It was a play designed by offensive coordinator Cam Cameron called "Lights On," named after the former University of Maryland player's nickname, "Lights Out."

"He calls himself, 'Lights Out,' so it was a play for me to go hit Shawne Merriman and put his lights out," Jones said. "I did what I was supposed to do."

That play was replayed a few times Monday at the Ravens' training complex.

"We replayed all the plays a few times, especially the good ones," Harbaugh said. "Edgar obviously has a role, and it's a role to be really physical.

“He's got that so-called defensive mentality and brings it over to the offensive side, and that's what he did on that play."

Matched up against fellow former University of Maryland player Jared Gaither for the majority of the game, Merriman was limited to one tackle and two quarterback hits.
