When the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Chicago Bears 16-13 in Week 11, it didn’t just mark their seventh victory of the season. It was the first time on over a full calendar year — a whole year and six days to be exact — that veteran tight end Nick Boyle was on a football field in an actual game.
Boyle was following up the best season of his career in 2019 with another strong one through the first nine games in 2020. Then, he suffered a horrific injury that knocked him of commission for the remainder of the year.
