Orlando Brown Jr. played in plenty of big games at Oklahoma. Brown and the Sooners crushed TCU in the Big 12 title game in 2016, beat Auburn in the Sugar Bowl a month later and faced Georgia in a national semifinal after the 2017 season.
Still, Brown said that his first experience in the NFL playoffs as a rookie last year left him feeling a bit “overwhelmed.”
The Ravens, the No. 4 seed as the AFC North champion, were soundly beaten at home in their playoff opener last year by the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Chargers, 23-17, as the Chargers rolled to a 23-3 fourth-quarter lead before the Ravens staged a late rally.
One year later, Brown, the Ravens’ starting right tackle all season, said there’s an entirely different mentality as he and the rest of the Ravens’ class of second-year players — which includes Most Valuable Player front-runner Lamar Jackson and tight ends Mark Andrews and Hayden Hurst, among others — prepares for their second shot at a postseason run.
