“Anything can happen on any given Sunday.” We’ve heard it time and time again and this week is no exception. The Baltimore Ravens carried there poor offensive performance from last week, back to Baltimore where they faced the Arizona Cardinals. The first half was a disaster as the Ravens’ offensive line fell apart and Joe Flacco struggled early. The defense allowed some uncharacteristic big plays and the usually stout special teams unit showcased poor tackling as the rookie Patrick Peterson took a punt to the house. The Ravens were able to add a field goal at the end of the half to bring the score to 24 – 6.

Over the years, Todd Heap became a prominent figure in Baltimore. Known for his great heart and play on the field, Heap built up a great report with his fans. Despite currently playing for another team, Heap made sure to thank his fans before returning home this Sunday for a match up against his former team:

For a decade, my wife Ashley, and I took great pride in calling Baltimore home. We greatly appreciated the way this city embraced our family and took us in as your own. We wanted to publicly and emphatically thank all of you for your incredible support over the years.

I would like to personally thank Art Modell for all that he has done, not only for me, but also for the passionate people of Baltimore. Mr. Modell brought football back to the city and restored fans’ pride in cheering for their home team. Our thoughts are with Mr. Modell as he mourns the passing of his wonderful wife Pat. I would also like to thank not only Steve Bisciotti for his great leadership of the Ravens organization, but also all of those within the organization who have been like family to me. I have played with so many great teammates over the years and am honored and proud to have stepped onto the field with each of you.

And last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank you … the fans. I am so blessed to do what I do for a living. And I know that this great game is what it is because we have you supporting us. Your support has touched my family, and I will never forget the cheers of the crowd each and every time you roared ‘Heeeap.’ Ravens fans, you are tremendous!

Although it was not my decision to leave Baltimore, I accept that change is sometimes necessary. Certain that I have a few good years of football left in me, I’m excited about my future with the Arizona Cardinals. But the city of Baltimore will always be special to me and my family. Thank you for so many wonderful memories.
