Heading into Week 16, the Ravens’ chances to win the AFC North seemed rather bleak. They needed help from the New Orleans Saints, but the tougher task appeared to be defeating the Los Angeles Chargers on the road in primetime.
Not only did the Saints help with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but Baltimore helped themselves with a shocking upset victory over the Chargers. The vaunted Ravens defense showed up in a big way with three critical turnovers, while the offense had enough success to defeat one of the NFL’s best teams.
