The most successful regular-season in Ravens history ended abruptly with one of the most disappointing defeats in franchise history, as the sixth-seeded Tennessee Titans rolled into a raucous M&T Bank Stadium and beat the Ravens in every phase of the game, handing the Ravens a 28-12 defeat and sending the shocked Ravens to an early offseason.
The top-seeded Ravens (14-3) and their high-powered offense failed to score a touchdown in the first half and were hurt by three turnovers, while their defense had no answer for Titans monster running back Derrick Henry, who finished with 30 carries for 195 yards and also threw a 3-yard touchdown pass.
Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed just seven passes and threw for 88 yards, but 45 of them came on a gorgeous touchdown pass to Kalif Raymond one play after the Ravens were stuffed on fourth-and-1 for a 14-0 lead, and Tannehill also ran for a score.
