WJZ Sports Director Mark Viviano had the opportunity to speak to some of the players and got a sense of their appreciation for the fans.
"It's a blessing, man," Ravens linebacker David Ojabo said of the opportunity to play for his fans. "We can't forget how blessed we are."
Wide receiver Nelson Agholor described the energy the fans brought with them as "amazing."
