3. Dolphins Turnover Fest

In a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins in the 2008-2009 season, the Ravens won 27-9. The Dolphins were the best team in the NFL at securing the football; but Reed and company was about to do their thing anyway. Reed had two interceptions in the game.

He scored a 64 yard touchdown on one of those Chad Pennington picks. Reed was the leader in the destruction of the Dolphins. His two turnovers set the tone and made the Ravens’ statement.

In a playoff game where Joe Flacco was uncharacteristically bad, the defense made the magic happen. The Ravens offense did almost nothing of note in that game. Reed had more yards than any of the Ravens running backs or wide receivers. So many times in his career, Reed made more happen than the offense ever could. Reed was the Ravens secret weapon.
