1. The Mile High Miracle

The Ravens again were facing defeat but defiantly flipped the script. It was the AFC divisional round playoff game against Denver Broncos. The Broncos were heavily favored. Peyton Manning was supposed to work his magic and take the high powered Broncos offense to the Super Bowl. The Ravens needed a touchdown with time trickling down in regulation just to tie the game. It took a 70 yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones to take the game into overtime.

Yes, the Broncos defense let Jacoby Jones get behind him. That being said it was one of the greatest throws in NFL history. Rolling out of the pocket Flacco launched a deep[ bomb into the hands of Jacoby Jones. It was a perfect throw that was difficult to make. It was the best play of the most emotional game I can ever remember. Every emotion was felt by the spectators of that game, and I suspect the players too. It was a roller coaster that the Ravens enjoyed the finish of.
