NFL games are pockets of momentum and nothing describes that scenario than the four play sequence between Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
Derrick Henry rushed for 44 yards to put the Ravens in the red zone before a Minkah Fitzpatrick interception gave the Steelers the football back. Immediately afterward, Russell Wilson was picked off by Baltimore cornerback Marlon Humphrey for a 37-yard pick six to put the Ravens up 31-17 with 13:00 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Social media reacts to everything, and Humphrey’s big play was no different.

Marlon Humphrey's pick-6 was the Ravens' first defensive TD of the season

I’ve said it all season – you could see a different fire under Marlon Humphrey since training camp.
Battled the physical, mental and emotional aspects of injury last season and overcame that adversity.
Nice to see the year he’s having.#RavensFlock

Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey have been undoubtedly two of the Ravens most consistent defensive players this year, even amid all the other secondary woes. Last two Steelers possessions ended with Hamilton fourth-down pass breakup, Humphrey pick six

This game is wild. In the span of four plays, we saw:
– Derrick Henry 44 yard run
– Lamar Jackson interception
– Harris for 3 yards
– Marlon Humphrey pick-six— Sarah Ellison (@sgellison) December 22, 2024
Crazy considering where this pass defense was at weeks ago. It’s now the best in the league https://t.co/HqRzf841Gz
