Ray Lewis' last Dance at M&T Stadium

CBS broadcast of the pregame show January 6, 2012. If you are from Baltimore, you will always remember where you were when you saw Ray Lewis exit the tunnel.

Those games were indeed some of the most intense and best games to watch.

Who would you rather go heads up with running through the hole Harrison or Lewis ? Either way there’s going to be slot of pain.

Appreciate it

[@gordonraleigh5647]

Man me too bruh!

[@emorygarrett451]

Brings tears to my eyes.... makes me think of a simpler times....sitting on the couch with my dad every Sunday watching the ravens play, I bugged my dad the whole game asking him all about it, do you think they’ll run the ball dad? Do you think the call will get overturned dad? Do you think there’s enough time for us (the Ravens) to catch back up dad? My dad wasn’t a very patient man but he always answered my questions about the game, and told me what was going on when I was young and didn’t understand. Oh the things we take for granted. I would give anything to be able to just sit down and watch the game right now with my dad :/

[@purplepooed]

Sounds like a hero.

[@colleenflattery4755]

I miss when NBC and CBS show the field intros and the action around the field beside the game, makes you feel like you were at the game in the crowd

[@DinoTorso]

They brought out a prime Ngata followed by 3 DPOY.

[@christian4u69]

l was at that game against the Colts in the Wild Card round. l remember being AWESTRUCK by this legend they called Ray Lewis. L had been to a few home games before, but this was different. Knowing this was IT, win or lose, this was going to be the last time this man would perform in front of the home crowd. Then came the last play of the game. How fitting it was to see Ray on the field, on OFFENSE no less. Joe Flacco takes the snap, hands the ball off to Ray, and he goes into his dance one last time for the crowd. Over 70,000 fans, all of them crying tears of joy, and DAMNIT, l'm proud to say that l was one of them. It seems almost poetic in a way that the Ravens would go all the way to another Super Bowl win for their leader. A fitting ending for not only a champion of an athlete, but also for a champion of a MAN.

[@prolific4832]

I bet it was great man to watch him play, especially with a torn tricep not even healed fully. He put all effort on the field and trusted God man. He prospered is all I can say. I was 10 years old watching that game instead of heading to church with my grandma. I had to watch him
