A closer look
Titans 13, Ravens 10
» Star of the game: The Ravens’ offensive line did not allow a sack against the Titans, who entered the game with 15 — tied for second in the league. The unit also paved the way for the Ravens to rush for 132 yards on 38 carries against the Titans, who had allowed an average of just 86.8 rushing yards in their first four games.
» Decisive moment: Linebacker Terrell Suggs was called for a questionable 15-yard rushing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter on a third-and-10 play, which would have forced the Titans to punt. Instead, Tennessee received a fresh set of downs and scored the winning touchdown 10 plays later.
» Best coaching decision: Coach John Harbaugh helped stifle the Titans’ momentum early when he challenged linebacker David Thornton’s interception with 30 seconds left in the first quarter. Replay proved Thornton did not have possession before going out of bounds, giving the ball back to the Ravens.
» Worst decision: Quarterback Joe Flacco was intercepted by safety Michael Griffin at the Ravens’ 38-yard line with 8:57 left in the second quarter. Ravens running back Willis McGahee compounded the mistake by getting called for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness call, which set up a Titans’ 35-yard field goal four plays later.
» It was over when: Titans cornerback Nick Harper intercepted Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco at the Ravens’ 35-yard line with 1:32 remaining, ending the Ravens’ comeback.
