You’ll probably hear about this off and on for the next week or so, but for a guy who looks like a man on stilts when he’s not running, Joe Flacco has made some athletic plays in his brief career.
You’ll recall the big run he made in Week 1, and then this:

There were plenty of surprises in the Ravens’ home win over the Oakland Raiders, but the same date that usually brings the Ravens to the party came to steal the show.
