That play will go down in Ravens history.
Especially, if they win the Super Bowl. I know that I've been an advocate of opening up the passing offense more and I know that I get defensive about Joe Flacco, but Ray Rice won that game. That was one of the greatest plays that I've ever seen. That was all heart and desire.

Re: That play will go down in Ravens history.
This much I know. That play will not only be remembered as one of the greatest in ravens history but it was also be a defining moment for two franchises going in the opposite direction. That play pretty much puts a nail in the coffin for Norv Turner. And for the ravens it's hopefully a springboard to more offensive consistency on the road. We already knew they had heart. We just didn't expect to see it in such dramatic fashion.
I've seen lots of 4th and long situations being converted but never one that resulted from a check down to a RB who had to use his legs to get all 29 yards. Mind Blowing.

It should be called "The Checkdown".

Who knows, this might even be the springboard to Turner's OC career in Baltimore!!! The irony! The irony!

The Great Checkdown that got the first down.
I think the Ravens are the Packers and Giants. That team (despite our record) that floundered early but picked up steam in December and won it all.

Re: That play will go down in Ravens history.
Let's also give lots of love to Boldin on that bone crushing block he had on Weddle. He ended up suffering a concussion on the play. I'm calling that play "the shot heard around the world":)
