LINEBACKER
A year ago, the Ravens were lamenting a late-season defensive collapse, seeing their playoff hopes crumble at home. For a few moments on Sunday evening it looked like it was going to happen again, but then C.J. Mosley stepped up with the game, and season, defining play. He finished the game having allowed an NFL passer rating of 39.6 on throws into his coverage, but the defining moment will always be that pick.
CORNERBACK
Smith came up with two crucial interceptions earlier in the game for the Ravens, producing arguably his best game of the year in the final week of the regular season.
