Anthony Wright and Marcus Robinson were college teammates at South Carolina.

BALTIMORE (AP) – Anthony Wright and Marcus Robinson are not to be confused with Johnny Unitas and Raymond Berry, the greatest quarterback-receiver combination in Baltimore pro football history.

For one spectacular half, however, Wright and Robinson were about as productive as any tandem ever to play the game.

The duo hooked up for four touchdowns in a 26-minute span last Sunday, and the Baltimore Ravens overcome a 17-point deficit to beat the Seattle Seahawks 44-41 in overtime.

No one expects Wright and Robinson to team for four scores every week, but now the opposition has something to think about in addition to stopping NFL rushing leader Jamal Lewis.

“At the very least, teams we play will have to look out there, and at least half consider what is going on the outside with Marcus Robinson running down the field,” Ravens coach Brian Billick said.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of their performance was that neither player had done much to distinguish himself this year.

Wright started the season as the Ravens’ third-string quarterback. He had gone two years without taking a snap in an NFL game before an injury to Kyle Boller got him a start on Nov. 16, in Miami, where he threw two interceptions in a 9-6 overtime loss.

Robinson, meanwhile, had only nine catches for 76 yards and no touchdowns in his first 10 games.

He readily concedes his success last Sunday doesn’t necessarily guarantee him a major role in the Baltimore offense.

“That was one game. It was a great game, but guys aren’t all of a sudden going to respect you after one game,” he said.

But Robinson can at least expect to contribute to the Ravens’ playoff push. A week ago, that was far from a certainty.

Upon being elevated to the starter’s role, Wright sought out Robinson, a former teammate at South Carolina.

“No more free paychecks for you,” Wright said, promising the wide receiver that his days as a decoy were over.

Robinson earned every penny of his salary last week, catching seven passes for 131 yards. The four touchdowns were one more than he scored all last season with the Chicago Bears.

“It was great to see,” Billick said. “Marcus needed a game like that for his confidence, and for the team’s confidence in him.”

Wright, in his seventh NFL start, went 20-for-37 for 319 yards.

“It was something I will remember forever. This team stuck together and didn’t quit,” he said. “When you’re down 17 points in the fourth quarter, the likelihood of coming back from a deficit like that is very slim.”

About as unlikely as a pair of former college teammates turning around lackluster seasons by teaming for four scores during a 38-point second half.

No one on the Ravens knew of Robinson’s ability better than Wright, who saw his big-play potential at South Carolina. Injuries have limited Robinson’s development into an NFL star, but that didn’t deter Wright from looking his way against Seattle.

“I knew that he had the talent to do it. It was just a matter of giving him the opportunity,” Wright said. “I saw him out there and felt like I should give him a chance, and he made the plays.”

The Wright-Robinson combination produced touchdowns of 13, 50, 25 and 9 yards. The first one ended a touchdown drought of eight quarters, and the last got Baltimore to 41-38 with 72 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

It was sweet vindication for Wright, who began the season behind Boller and second-stringer Chris Redman. After Boller got hurt on Nov. 9, however, Billick bypassed Redman and made Wright the starter the following week.

Robinson starred with the Bears in 1999, catching 84 passes for 1,400 yards and nine touchdowns. But because of injuries, his production tumbled in each subsequent season.

It was more of the same this year until his flashback performance against the Seahawks.

“Personally, I needed it big,” he said. “Knee surgery, back surgery, everybody’s looking at me as injury prone. I started doubting myself for a minute, too. But I kept praying and I kept my focus.”

Neither one got a game ball, though. That went to Wright’s wife, Nicole, who was kind enough not to go into labor with the couple’s second child until late Sunday night. She gave birth to a girl on Monday.
