Summary
However, this lopsided loss to the Tennessee Titans ended Lamar Jackson's MVP-winning campaign in an unceremonious fashion.As a 10-point favorite, Baltimore hosted a seven-loss Tennessee squad that upset the New England Patriots to begin the playoffs (in what would be Tom Brady's final game with the franchise).But the Ravens just had a miserable day.The defense found no solutions to contain Derrick Henry, who piled up 195 rushing yards and even threw for a touchdown. But he replaced Brady and, four snaps later, threw a touchdown to David Patten.New England also received a punt-return touchdown from Troy Brown, who later scooped up a blocked field goal and lateraled the ball to Antwan Harris for a touchdown.For good measure, the Patriots intercepted two Kordell Stewart passes in the closing three minutes to seal a 24-17 victory.Speaking of injuries as an underdog, the San Diego Chargers should not have survived this trip to the Indianapolis Colts.Knee injuries sidelined both running back LaDainian Tomlinson and quarterback Philip Rivers in the second and third quarters, respectively. Randy Moss' touchdown with under three minutes could have spelled doom, but Tyree's legendary helmet catch set up Plaxico Burress' game-winning score and ended the Patriots' perfect season.The start of a two-decade dynasty began in improbable fashion.Brady returned to the lineup after exiting the AFC Championship Game win over Pittsburgh, but expectations were low.
