LEGENDARY: In the 2012 AFC Divisional Playoffs, the #Ravens trailed the #Broncos 35-28 with under a minute remaining.

While Denver fans celebrated, Joe Flacco refused to give up.

Flacco launched a 70-yard TD to Jacoby Jones, forcing overtime.

CLUTCH 🥶

Ravens defensive back room is insane:

💎Kyle Hamilton
💎Marlon Humphrey
💎Brandon Stephens
💎Marcus Williams
💎Nate Wiggins
💎Eddie Jackson
💎Ar’Darius Washington
💎Jaylon Armour-Davis
💎TJ Tampa
💎Sanoussi Kane
💎Beau Brade

Stephen A. Smith recently clarified a statement made during an appearance with Sean Hannity. At the time he seemed to agree with Donald Trump’s thoughts on black voters. Based on SAS’ platform it was an important statement of accountability. That would not be a representation of our entire community, & many 100% disagree!

Black Americans can’t make criminal decisions & be the President. Nor does probable cause = skin color. Trump has relegated black voters to the lowest common denominators of criminality & materialism. Lastly, he’s never worn the shoes of a black man and nothing about his life says he’d be comfortable in them.

Chiefs 17, Ravens 10 Takeaways

1) The Ravens offense didn’t show up, and nobody escapes blame.

2) It starts with the OC. Todd Monken abandoned the run from the jump. He made no adjustments that worked. Might have been his worst called game.

3) Lamar Jackson had a couple heroic plays, but outside of that was off on the deep ball. He was sack-stripped early, and then the backbreaker was the INT in the end zone.

4) The offensive line got bullied.

5) Zay Flowers was one of the few WRS to show up, but he let his youthful inexperience show with a taunting penalty and cutting his hand in frustration. He fumbled at the 1-yardline. Killer.

6) The team was undisciplined all day. They had five 15-yard penalties.

7) Speaking of penalties, the refs were completely one-sided. A lot of calls were correct. It was the call they didn’t make against KC. It favored the visitors most of the day.

8) The defense started off very shaky, but clamped down. Giving up 17 points to Mahomes and Co. is nothing to be mad about. Eventually the unit broke in the end, but it was bound to happen with no offense going on the other side.

9) Kyle Hamilton was a standout all day. He’s special.

10) When two heavyweights are going head-to-head, it’s your superstars that make the difference. Mahomes and Kelce made plays. Ravens didn’t.

11) This is a heartbreaker for Baltimore. Everything was right in front of them. Home game. More complete team. It’s gonna sting for a while.

Chris Broussard COOKED Nick Wright for saying he trusted CJ Stroud more than Lamar Jackson

[Sarah Ellison @sgellison]

Lamar Jackson said that @ProFootballTalk was disrespectful, and he wouldn’t have been so disrespectful if he put the pads on.

[Sarah Ellison @sgellison]

I don't want to hear that Lamar Jackson can't orchestrate a come-from-behind scoring drive in the fourth quarter. That entire drive was simply fantastic by No. 8. He went 85 yards on 13 plays, scoring a TD on third-and-17 and a 2-pt conversion. Almost all through the air.

[Sarah Ellison @sgellison]

Odell Beckham Jr. on Jeffery Simmons' low hit on Zay Flowers: "I seen personally, he was chasing down the play, he's tired. I watched him look at the play, then look at Zay's legs and try and dive on it, and I just didn't like that. I'm protective. This is my guy. This is my lil' bro. I love him to death, and I'm always gonna have his back. Period. And if that leads me to trouble, it is what it is."

[Sarah Ellison @sgellison]

Don’t forget, the Washington Commanders didn’t care about the Ravens’ 24-game preseason win streak.

That’s why they played their first-team offense against the Ravens’ second- and third-team defenses for the entire first half.

That’s also why G Sam Cosmi went from saying nobody gives a “s**t” about the “stupid record" … to doing The Griddy in the end zone when his starting unit scored on Ravens backups.

That’s why K Joey Slye gestured an L to the sideline after his game-winning field goal.

That’s why new co-owner Magic Johnson posted about how much fun it was to break the streak.

That’s why WR Jahan Dotson said in the locker room afterward: “I feel like we just had the biggest preseason win in history.”

It’s all because they didn’t care.

@EmmanuelAcho @NFL Really how many folks in this world get 3 days off with the health benefits of the players in the NFL miss me with that one Acho

[Sarah Ellison @sgellison]

No, Lamar Jackson is not being “greedy.” He is not injury-prone. He’s not a running back. He’s a unanimous MVP QB, who led the NFL in touchdown passes despite lesser WR talent and an OC that didn’t develop a passing attack. He has a 45-16 record as a starter and scares opposing defenses. He has every right to seek the value he feels he deserves.

No, the Ravens aren’t “insulting” or “disrespecting” Lamar with their offers. They aren’t “sabotaging” him with a franchise tag. We all knew the tag was coming if no deal was struck. If losing organizations don’t even reach out to attempt to sign a winning QB next week (I still have my doubts), then we know why they’re losing organizations. Ravens don’t control that. They have every right to offer what they feel his value is to the team.

Both Lamar and Baltimore have been independently successful in football before they came together, and no doubt, they would both eventually be successful independently again if they don’t strike a deal. But I’m rooting that they do, because I think great things could happen. I’ll just have to wait and see.

In the meantime, both Lamar and the Ravens are aptly playing the role of shrewd negotiators. As they should. There’s really no need to demonize either side.

[Derrick Waters @gohardwaters]

@SpeakOnFS1 Did the Ravens not offer Lamar a huge contract?

[Derrick Waters @gohardwaters]

@DezBryant I agree with Skip the game should have been delayed but played
