It was the opening week of the season, and after a brutal offensive team performance and disastrous pick-six, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco stood at his own 20-yard line with two minutes, 55 seconds remaining, needing a touchdown to win.
The situation was ripe for some Flacco magic that Ravens fans have become so accustomed to. After all, the “Mile High Miracle” happened in that very same stadium.
At first, it looked like Flacco was going to pull it off. He converted on fourth-and-9 on a surgically placed pass to tight end Crockett Gillmore.
