Thomas had arguably his best game of the season against Vikings. You’d like to see a Top 10 pick play more like Bosa, Armstead, and Buckner, but it is so clearly obvious Ford makes everyone better. And not to put too fine a point on it, but when that defense has all its starters it is elite, not just against other teams this season, but in NFL history.

Witherspoon has been atrocious since the last Rams game. He wasn’t beat on that TD yesterday as much as completely lost the ball. Funny how Stephon Diggs can only catch TDs in the playoffs when the CB completely butchers a simple coverage and isn’t really even beat. Before his injury Spoon was really good. Mosely has simply been better since and deserves to start.

The Ravens looked like a team that had heard everyone tell them how great they were for three months, including getting a completely outrageous 12 Pro Bowl selections. But hey, at least they will be well rested and many Ravens will have one more game to play!

Tennessee made every big play in that game. I knew the Ravens were in trouble when they went for it on 4th down at their own 45. It was too early in the game (and scoreless) to do that and it was just inviting a game changing momentum shift that you just can’t give to an underdog looking for confidence in your home stadium.
