2. The Mile High Miracle

The Ravens were underdogs against the Denver Broncos in the 2012 NFL Playoffs. The Ravens were going into Denver to battle the number one seed in the AFC, who were expected to win the Super Bowl that season. In a game that made fans run through every emotion imaginable, the Ravens beat the Broncos in double overtime. It is how they got there, that makes it a miracle.

With the game n the line who would you rather have then good old number five? With time winding down in regulation the Ravens needed a touchdown to force overtime. Desperation time had hit the Ravens and the Ravens quarterback hit back. He rolled out of the pocket and threw an absolutely beautiful pass to Jacoby Jones for a 70 yard touchdown pass. It was one of the most clutch throws of all time and nobody could have thrown it as perfectly as Flacco did.

The Ravens beat the Broncos with a Justin Tucker field goal in double overtime. It was possibly the greatest game of all time, at least it has to be in that discussion. In that game for the ages, Flacco threw for 331 yards and 3 touchdowns.
