That last one is the Raven outside of M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore’s home field.
As for the action on the field, a standout moment came from Cordarrelle Patterson on a kick return.
The man is a force. Unfortunately, the Purple defense looked a lot like Ravens kicker Justin Tucker in the final quarter.
