Ravens' McGahee needs to step up now

One of the best things Willis McGahee said after his long touchdown run Saturday night was that he was trying to make a play because "he hadn't made a play the whole year."

He's right. But leading up to the run, McGahee had some good, solid runs on the perimeter against Dallas as the Cowboys were softened up by Le'Ron McClain, and also being tired from whipping the Ravens' offensive line, especially inside. The Cowboys got tired because they got no support from their offense.

But maybe McGahee will step up his game now. The Ravens need him to get outside and open up the defense. It would nice to see him make a few more plays since he has only made one this season.
