“Five teams won that day, but we won the last time, and that’s the one that counted the most’’ Harbaugh said with a laugh. Flacco brought the Ravens down the field and then hit Brown in the back of the end zone for the win. Patterson took a screen pass from Matt Cassell and cut across the field to score on a 79-yard touchdown with 45 seconds left for a 26-22 Minnesota lead. But Jacoby Jones returned the ensuing kickoff 77 yards for a touchdown to put the Ravens up 22-19 with 1:16 remaining.īack came the Vikings. With 1:27 left, Toby Gerhart scored on a 41-yard touchdown run to give the Vikings a 19-15 lead. All of a sudden, our guys are sliding around (and) we couldn’t tackle.” Then, all of a sudden, the field looked like an ice rink. “It was a really good football game,’’ said John Harbaugh, who was then and remains Baltimore’s head coach “I remember getting the lead with like two minutes left and thinking it was OK. The madness started when Flacco threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Dennis Pitta and a two-point conversion pass to Torrey Smith for a 15-12 Ravens lead with 2:05 left. Patterson had a big game, catching five passes for 141 yards. Kubiak remembers wide receiver Greg Jennings “skate around and not letting the elements hurt him too much.” And he recalls then-rookie wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson “going off and making some huge plays” and “scooting across the yard multiple times.” Safety Harrison Smith was then on injured reserve with a toe injury and wide receiver Adam Thielen was then on the practice squad. Defensive end Everson Griffen is the only player now on the Vikings who played in that game.
