A superb performance tonight - highlighting the folly of not having Henry in the field in the pinch against the Patriots.
A good night for the Ravens; great night for Henry; bad night for Harbaugh.

Derrick Henry went OFF with the Ravens' season on the line 🔥

Any artist failing to have such irreconcilable political differences with a gang of Nazi thugs should be suspect as an artist and a human being.
"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people"- Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi
Kennedy Center vows to sue musician who canceled performance over Trump name change
The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building.

This is called pillaging.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
