On the ensuing series, Flacco
connected with WR Derrick Mason for a 48-yard touchdown pass to tie the score at 7-7.
Just before the 1st half ended, Tennessee marched to the Ravens' 22-yard line, but RB LenDale White was
stripped of the ball by LB Jarret Johnson, and Safety Jim Leonhard recovered the ball with 25 seconds on the
clock.
The theme of the day was the inability of the Titans offense when it mattered. The Titans tried a 51-yard FG on
4th down instead of punting in the 3rd quarter, and K Rob Bironas pushed it wide left.
The score remained knotted at 7-7 until early in the 4th quarter when Matt Stover hit a 21-yard FG at the 14:14 mark
to put the Ravens up 10-7.
Later in the 4th quarter, Titans TE Alge Crumpler fumbled on the Ravens 6-yard line. The Tennessee Titans tied the gamne
at 10-10 game again after stopping the Ravens and taking advantage of the field position caused by Crumpler's lost fumble
for Bironas' 27-yard FG.
However, the Ravens made the most of their last possession.
The key sequence in their final possession occurred when Joe Flacco completed a 23-yard pass to TE Todd Heap for a
critical 3rd-and-2 conversion to advance to midfield. RB Willis McGahee then made an 11-yard run, and Flacco found WR
Mark Clayton for 8 yards to pull within Stover's range. With 53 seconds remaining in the game, Matt Stover converted the
43-yard field goal to give the Ravens the 13-10 lead. Stover's field goal capped a Raven's 9-play 51-yard drive
which consumed 3.5 minutes of game time
With 53 seconds left to move down the field, Kerry Collins completed 1 pass for 5 yards to Brandon Jones.
His last 3 attempts fell to the ground and ended the game in the Ravens favor.

First Time Top Seeds Eliminated in NFL Divisional Round
Titans & Giants Lose at Home in NFL Divisional Playoff Round
This weekend's losses by the Titans (Ravens 13-10) and Giants (Eagles 23-11) marks the first time
that both conference top-seeds have been eliminated in the divisional round playoffs. The elimination of
the Titans and Giants also marks the third time that no top conference seed will advance to the Super Bowl (1992 &
1997).
Baltimore Ravens (12-5) at Tennessee Titans (13-3)
Saturday, CBS, 4:30 PM ET
Both teams excel in the turnover battle, finishing second (Tennessee, plus-14) and third (Baltimore, plus-13)
this season in NFL turnover differential. They are also quite similar on defense. Linemen who call for double-teams;
quick linebackers who can rush or drop back into coverage; and ball-hawking secondaries. But it certainly won't be all
defense.

Baltimore Ravens (11-5) at Miami Dolphins (11-5) NFL Playoffs Wild Card Weekend
The game is a rematch of a regular season game between these teams this year, when Baltimore
registered a 27-13 win on October 19 at Dolphin Stadium. The Ravens head to Miami hoping to
return with the same result.
On Wild Card Weekend Everybody Starts on Equal Ground
In one of the most unpredictable and story-filled NFL regular seasons in memory, the road to Tampa Bay, Florida and Super
Bowl XLIII on February 1 begins this Saturday and Sunday with the NFL 2008 Playoffs and Wild Card Weekend. How each of
the NFL Playoff teams got here doesn't matter. Nor does it matter who got in first or who got in last. All that matters
is that they're here and ready to go.
