In this article, I'm going to share some of my favorite stories from my time on the Ravens sideline. I'll tell you about the time Lamar Jackson broke the NFL record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game. I'll tell you about the time John Harbaugh gave an impassioned speech to his team after a tough loss. And I'll tell you about the time the Ravens fans created an earthquake in M&T Bank Stadium.

Lamar Jackson's Record-Breaking Run

It was December 4, 2019, and the Ravens were hosting the Cleveland Browns. Jackson had been playing out of his mind all season, and he was on pace to break the NFL record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game. With just over two minutes remaining in the game, Jackson took the snap and ran to his right. He broke through the line of scrimmage and sprinted down the sideline. He was not going to be caught.

As Jackson crossed the goal line, the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium erupted in pandemonium. He had done it. He had broken the record. It was an incredible moment, and I was lucky enough to be there to witness it.

John Harbaugh's Impassioned Speech

It was January 12, 2020, and the Ravens had just lost to the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Divisional Round. It was a tough loss, and the Ravens were understandably disappointed. But after the game, head coach John Harbaugh gave an impassioned speech to his team that left no one in doubt that they would be back.

"We're going to learn from this," Harbaugh said. "We're going to get better from this. And we're going to be back. We're going to be back next year, and we're going to win the Super Bowl."

Harbaugh's speech was exactly what the Ravens needed to hear. It was a reminder that they are a team with a lot of talent and a lot of potential. It was a reminder that they are capable of great things.

The Ravens Fans Create an Earthquake

It was January 11, 2020, and the Ravens were hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wild Card Round. It was a cold and rainy day, but that didn't stop the Ravens fans from packing M&T Bank Stadium. The crowd was electric from the start, and it only got louder as the game went on.

In the fourth quarter, the Ravens took the lead on a touchdown pass from Jackson to Marquise Brown. The crowd went wild, and the stadium literally shook. It was an incredible moment, and it was a testament to the passion of the Ravens fans.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to cover the Baltimore Ravens. It is an honor to be a part of this team, and I am excited to see what the future holds for us.
