Mike Wallace could hardly contain his emotions Sunday.
The veteran receiver was so excited after his 95-yard touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers that he needed to leave the field and go to the locker room with a member of the medical staff. Wallace had just given the Ravens a 7-0 lead against his former team, and the thrill of the moment left him light-headed for several minutes.
“I just had to calm down,” Wallace said. “I was just overly excited.”
Wallace was clearly fired up after the touchdown. He pointed over to the Steelers sideline and then paced up and down Baltimore’s bench as teammates congratulated him.
