It started with this pregame speech from a living legend...
Baltimore won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. Rookie wide receiver Amari Cooper dropped the first two passes thrown his way and then...
Then, on the Ravens first play from scrimmage...
The teams traded field goals and the Raiders led 10-3 with 7:41 left in the 1st quarter. Then Joe Flacco tied the game at 10-10 with a TD pass to his tight end. A 1-yard Latavius Murray touchdown run reclaimed the lead for the RAIDERS.
But Flacco kept coming with another TD pass that tied the game at 17-17. The teams traded field goals and went to the locker room tied at 20 at halftime.
The Raiders regained the lead...
And increased it to 30-20 with this beauty of a play...
Baltimore fought back with 13 unanswered points to take a 33-30 lead with 2:10 to go. And then...
And then CB Neiko Thorpe sealed it.
And there was much rejoicing...
And everyone took notice.
On to Cleveland.
