Sooners in the NFL Playoffs

A quartet of Baltimore Ravens pulled off their first playoff victory; two Rams stood tall

A handful of former Sooners accomplished their first postseason win Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens beat the Tennessee Titans 20-13 in a first-round AFC playoff game in Nashville.

After the first quarter, Baltimore trailed 10-0. Marquise “Hollywood” Brown accounted for 71 receiving yards in the second quarter, which catapulted the Ravens to score 17 unanswered points going into halftime.

Similarly, tight end Mark Andrews had a total of 41 yards. Andrews had a first-and-10 catch for 17 yards in the fourth quarter that helped put the Ravens in field goal range to secure the win.

Two other Sooners — left tackle Orlando Brown and right guard Ben Powers — anchored the Ravens’ offensive line play for 236 yards rushing (6.7 per carry) and 179 yards passing from quarterback Lamar Jackson.

This game was a rematch of a regular season game won by the Titans in overtime. This go-round ended with a victory and stomping on Tennessee’s midfield logo, which resulted in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

The goal for the Ravens this year was to change the narrative and win a playoff game. This goal has certainly been accomplished as they advance to the next round against the Buffalo Bills.
