Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Michael Pierce officially sealed the game (and AFC North title) for the franchise on Saturday night with a game-clinching interception of Cleveland Browns quarterback Bailey Zappe.
That's right—Pierce, a 6'2", 355-pound tackle—dropped into coverage late in the fourth quarter of the Ragens' 35–10 win and stepped in front of Zappe's pass. From there, Pierce attempted a modified QB slide to give himself up, before heading to the sideline to a swarm of celebrating teammates. As expected, it is Pierce's first career interception in his ninth year in the NFL.
