Best Monday Night Football Games In Ravens History
The Ravens' very first Monday Night Football game was postponed, but they've had quite a few dramatic victories on the primetime stage since then. Baltimore can write another chapter tonight at Gillette Stadium.

Nov. 12, 2001: Ravens 16, Titans 10The Ravens' first Monday Night Football game in franchise history was a thrilling win over their then-bitter rivals. Baltimore stuffed the Titans' Steve McNair on a quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line after a Tennessee touchdown was called back by the officials. The Ravens' first Monday Night Football game in team history was supposed to be against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 17, but all Week 2 games were rescheduled after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Sept. 30, 2002: Ravens 34, Broncos 23The Ravens opened the season with two losses. The Broncos opened with two wins. But Baltimore blew the doors off Denver, posting a 34-3 lead in the third quarter highlighted by a 107-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown by cornerback Chris McAlister. It set the record for the longest play in NFL history, which has since been broken.

Dec. 19, 2005: Ravens 48, Packers 3Tied for the most lopsided win in Ravens history, the Ravens stomped the Brett Favre-led Packers at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens held Favre to 144 passing yards and picked him off twice. Meanwhile, Ravens quarterback Kyle Boller had one of the best performances of his career, going 19-of-27 for 253 yards and three touchdowns.

Nov. 16, 2009: Ravens 16, Browns 0The Ravens defense pitched a shutout and demolished Browns quarterback Brady Quinn. Quinn went 13-of-31 for 99 yards and two interceptions. He was sacked four times. Then, after the game was over, linebacker Ray Lewis accused Quinn of a cheap shot on a low hit on Terrell Suggs that injured the linebacker after he made an interception.

Sept. 13, 2010: Ravens 10, Jets 9The Ravens began their season on Monday Night Football, in newly opened MetLife Stadium, against their former Defensive Coordinator Rex Ryan. It was a defensive slugfest, just like Ryan would have liked, but the Ravens prevailed. Linebacker Ray Lewis provided the exclamation point by flattening Jets tight end Dustin Keller on a route over the middle on the Jets' final drive.

Dec. 13, 2010: Ravens 34, Texans 28 (OT)The Ravens had a 28-7 lead in the third quarter before the Texans and wide receiver Andre Johnson came roaring back to send the game into overtime in the final minute. Once in overtime, Ravens cornerback Josh Wilson picked off quarterback Matt Schaub and returned it for a 12-yard game-winning touchdown. The Ravens got quite a scare, but escaped Houston with a dramatic victory.

Sept. 10, 2012: Ravens 44, Bengals 13The Ravens kicked off what would eventually become their Super Bowl season with a blowout win over the rival Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium. Quarterback Joe Flacco had a solid day with 299 yards passing and two touchdowns, and safety Ed Reed put the nail in the Bengals' coffin with a 34-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter.

Dec. 16, 2013: Ravens 18, Lions 16This is when the legend of Ravens kicker Justin Tucker really grew. In his second season, Tucker booted a game-winning 61-yard field goal to give the Ravens a late-season win at Ford Field. Tucker accounted for all the Ravens' scoring with a whopping six field goals. After the game, he was given the nickname "Legatron," a play off the "Megatron" nickname for Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson.

Nov. 24, 2014: Ravens 34, Saints 27Another dramatic road victory came when the Ravens upset the high-octane Saints offense in New Orleans (the site of their Super Bowl win two years earlier). Running back Justin Forsett rushed for a career-high 182 yards and two touchdowns and safety Will Hill put the Ravens ahead in the third quarter with a 44-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Nov. 30, 2015: Ravens 33, Browns 27The "kick-six" was born when safety Will Hill recovered a blocked potential game-winning 51-yard field goal with three seconds remaining and returned it 64 yards for a touchdown as time expired. Defensive end Brent Urban, playing in his first game after missing two seasons due to injuries, blocked the kick. The play absolutely stunned Cleveland's FirstEnergy Stadium.
