Joe Flacco threw a pair of touchdown passes and the host Baltimore Ravens breezed to their fourth straight win, a 24-10 victory over the winless Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

With the win, the Ravens (10-3) remained tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers atop the AFC North Division. Baltimore holds the tiebreaker by virtue of a season sweep.

Ray Rice ran for 103 yards on 26 carries. He also scored on a 6-yard run in the second quarter as Baltimore took a 17-0 lead.

Terrell Suggs paced the Ravens’ stingy defense with three sacks to give him a career-high 13 for the season.

Suggs’ victim, Dan Orlovsky, who replaced Curtis Painter and threw for 353 yards a week ago against the New England Patriots, was held to just 137 yards passing. Most of those came on the game’s final meaningless drive, which ended in a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Tamme.

Flacco opened the scoring with an 8-yard strike to Torrey Smith on the Ravens’ first drive. He later tossed a 7-yard scoring pass to Dennis Pitta. Flacco finished 22 for 31 for 227 yards with one interception.

Adam Vinatieri accounted for the Colts’ only scoring in the first half on a 22-yard field goal.
