There were quite a few headlines created during the Jets vs Ravens game at the M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday night. The Baltimore Ravens secured their second consecutive AFC North championship during their 41-25 win over the Jets. In doing so, they also registered their 10th consecutive win in the NFL this season. However, in the game of numbers, only one Ravens player ran the rule during Thursday Night Football (TNF).
