How big was this sequence? The Ravens to their credit, came in and punched us in the mouth. Perhaps the best front 7 we've faced all year. We're a little slow out the gates. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we're down 0-7 and going backwards.

After digging this hole vs the leagues #1 defense, Dak calmly hits two big passes and puts us in a manageable 3rd down situation. We hit Butler for a big gainer and go on to score. This may not have decided the game but it got us rolling. I knew we we're good after we took their best shot and evened them up at half.

Defining drive of the game, in my opinion. We badly needed points, and a quick 3-and-out would have put the defense in a tough spot. The drive obviously also served as a way to settle down Dak.

Dak settled down after that play to Butler. His throws were all over the place but after that he went to complete 17/18 passes
Going back to the Eagles game Dak has only missed 2 passes in the 4th quarter total......clutch. 26-28

After that play, we were a well oiled machine. Never looked back. It looked bleak up until that point and that was a perfect opportunity for Balt to pounce and take control but they didn't. Just a handful of plays after the 1st and 30, we were in the endzone and the game never was the same after.

Kids growing by the minute.

Oh yeah...thing is, did ANY of you doubt he'd have trouble hitting the deep ball eventually? Me either. That was a joke earlier in the season when his critics said he 'couldn't go over the top'. He can do it ALL and that's pretty damn obvious by now.
