Flacco's finest moment
Joe Flacco whistled a 26-yard pass to Torrey Smith with eight seconds to play in last year's comeback victory over the Steelers at Heinz Field. The victory established Flacco as a big-game quarterback and allowed the Ravens to sweep the Steelers, positioning themselves for a first-round bye in the playoffs.

It was big for many reasons. More than just being the game winner, it gave the Ravens a victory of a very explosive Jacksonville team that dominated the Ravens in the early days of the Ravens' history. It put the league on notice that the Ravens were for real and gave the Ravens loads of confidence -- confidence that they could play with anyone in the league. The play was huge ... the victory was bigger which makes the play one of the greatest in Ravens History!!
What about the play when Ray Lewis ripped the ball and Eddie George's heart out then took them both to the endzone. George was never the same after that. Also Sharp's tipped TD in the first playoff game against Denver. If you really want to get sentimental what about Vinny scoring the first TD for the Ravens.
I totally agree! That block FG was definitely one of the greatest plays ever. Rays Int return for a TD in that game was a defining moment. Sharpe's immaculate deflection TD in the broncos wildcard game. Stokelys TD in the superbowl. Sharpes game winning td from tony banks against jacksonville to secure the first ever victory against them. Flacco to heap to setup the game winning FG in the titans playoff game. All better plays IMO.
