Watch: Ravens S DeShon Elliot with a massive 3rd down hit to force Titans punt

The Baltimore Ravens replaced Earl Thomas with DeShon Elliott this offseason after a string of events. And with the playoffs underway, Elliott delivered the big hit needed to stop a key Tennessee Titans drive and potentially lock the game up for the Ravens.

With the Titans entering Baltimore territory, Elliot drilled tight end Jonnu Smith, knocking the ball out of his hands and forcing Tennessee to punt.

Plays like this are a regular event for Baltimore’s defense, sometimes resulting in strip fumbles which lead to defensive scores. While Tennessee’s offense has stayed disciplines and found some success, only one touchdown drive was allowed in the first three quarters.

A healthy defense has proven to be a recipe for success in the Ravens playing winning football. They will likely need one more stop to close out this game.
