The Baltimore Ravens need a win against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17 in order to have a realistic chance to make the playoffs. They need big contributions from both their offense and their defense, and they saw the defensive unit step up in a big way early in the game.
In the first quarter, safety Chuck Clark made his impact felt, intercepting Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and taking it back for a touchdown. The pick-sick marked the first for Clark in his NFL career, and it came in a time when Baltimore needed it badly.

The Ravens’ defense has been a low-turnover defense over the course of the 2021 season, so Clark coming through early in the contest was a great sign. He set an early tone, which is vitally important in a game that means so much.
