The Baltimore Ravens went into Los Angeles on a short week and completely shut down the high-powered offense of the Chargers. In an absolutely smothering defensive performance, one player stood above the rest with the best game of his career.
Third-year linebacker Patrick Onwuasor made the biggest play of the game, effectively saving Baltimore’s season in the process. With 2:54 left to play, leading only by six points, the Ravens faced a situation that has become far too familiar in recent memory. The fate of the season rested on the defense, as it had the previous two years.
