The past year seems to have renewed the old Ravens-Titans rivalry. With a crushing playoff loss for the Ravens last year and the Titans’ antics in Baltimore this season before beating the Ravens again, the nastiness of days gone feels like it might be back.
This game was always going to be judged as a do-or-die game, whether fair or not. Lamar Jackson was always going to be judged on whether or not he could win a playoff game. Greg Roman was always going to be judged on whether or not he could stay ahead of defenses.
