"Big Truss" is the newest popular phrase in Baltimore with the Ravens getting off to a 10-2 start, which was punctuated by a thrilling 20-17 win against the NFC-leading San Francisco 49ers Dec. 1.
Kicker Justin Tucker was the hero in the cold and rain at M&T Bank Stadium, nailing a 49-yard field goal as time expired. As his postgame news conference began, Tucker dropped the phrase as an ode to his teammates who have popularized its usage this year.
However, there was more to the game than a saying, as the Ravens' defense kept them in the game. The 49ers were just 4-for-12 on third down and managed 15 first downs the entire game.
