Ravens star linebacker Patrick Queen might be able to add fortune-teller to his list of skills.

The Ravens had Queen mic’d up for their game against the Rams last Sunday, and Baltimore’s star defender seemingly predicted a touchdown right on time. In the second quarter with the Rams leading 10–7, Queen said, “Come on offense, show us something” as he watched from the bench. Almost immediately, Lamar Jackson threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr., which had Queen and the rest of the Baltimore bench hyped.

“Easy! Easy! C’mon man, that’s too easy!” Queen yelled to Beckham Jr. as the two former LSU standouts celebrated the score.

Perfect timing.

Call this one complementary football at its finest. Just when Queen and the defense needed a boost, Jackson and Beckham Jr. delivered. And watching Queen’s excitement for the big play (and for Beckham Jr. personally) was just awesome.

Perhaps the key to the Ravens getting back to the Super Bowl is just Queen predicting it!
