Late in the first half of the Ravens’ 2000 divisional round game against the Tennessee Titans with the score tied at seven, Baltimore’s Keith Washington blocked an Al Del Greco field goal attempt, and Ravens safety Anthony Mitchell briefly chased after the ball before it settled in the end zone.
Mitchell wasn’t able to get his hands on the ball that time, but he knew his time was coming. That time came when the Titans were attempting to break a 10-10 tie early in the fourth quarter.
“On the sideline, like I always say, I was standing there with Robert Bailey when they were driving down,” Mitchell said on Glenn Clark Radio Jan. 8. “We were talking. I said, ‘Something big’s going to happen, Robert. Something big’s going to happen for me.’ And he was looking at me like, ‘Aight, let’s do it.’ And then they called the field goal block team out there.”
