A few months ago, I was killing quarantine by YouTubing all of the NFL channel’s full-game highlights from this past Ravens season. As might be expected when there’s literally nothing else in the world to do, this devolved into a pointless yet painstaking cataloguing of my ten favorite plays. After barely any deliberation, I settled on a clear favorite, one I’d assume most fans would agree with. On third and nine with less than three minutes until halftime of the Wildcard game, Lamar’s pocket collapses, his instincts kick in and he torches Tennessee’s defense with a jaw-dropping, spine-tingling, sham-narrative-eviscerating forty-seven-yard TD scamper. One that will be a part of every Lamar-centric highlight reel put together until the end of time. And no matter how many times I see it, I’ll always parrot Kevin Bacon with a “Thank you sir, may I have another.”
