Ray Rice Converts 4th-and-29 on Two-Yard Dumpoff Pass From Joe Flacco (Animation)

Ray Rice made the play of the season late in the fourth quarter during the Ravens-Chargers game.

Trailing 13-10 and facing a 4th-and-29 scenario with 1:59 left on the clock, Joe Flacco threw a two-yard dumpoff pass to Rice. Rice found an open field in front of him, then cut left, and plowed through some Chargers’ defenders to dive for the first down. A key block from Anquan Boldin didn’t hurt either.

The spot was challenged, and while it was pushed back half a yard, the play was still good for a first down. The Ravens tied the game later in that drive with a Justin Tucker field goal.

Watch Rice will his way to a first down in the GIF below.
