Trifecta

[flynismo]

While tonight's game left a lot to be desired, we accomplished something that we haven't done in a long time ... we scored a TD in all three facets of the game (offense, defense and ST).

Trivia buffs: quick (no cheating!):

When was the last time we accomplished this feat?

Do I get points for "not this year?"

[Ed_Reed20]

2004?

I think the Super Bowl is too many years back, but that's my vote!

im guessing last year in the broncos game. if not then im going back to 2008 when McClain had his huge game.

The defense didn't score a defensive TD against the Broncos last year.

I don't remember anyone returning a kick or punt for a TD in '08.

Idk, I think one possibility would be 2003/2004. With Reed blocking a punt and returning it for a TD. Especially when we had good guys to score on D too. I'm going with 03. Or actually I am going with Sep 30, 2002 when C-Mac returned that FG for a TD. Just because I watched the clip of that play last night and I heard them say "the Ravens have done it in all facets tonight" or something like that.

The suspense is killing me! Just PM me my trophy.

October 12, 2003. Against the Cardinals, Reed blocked a punt and returned it for a TD, McAlister scored on a long interception return and Jeff "Shake n'" Blake threw a TD pass.

Shoulda gone with my original guess. Man with all this hindsight, I now know what it feels like to be Harbs.
But I still give myself some props for originally stating the Reed blocked punt TD.

I knew you'd be the one to get it! (note: ed_reed20 loves a challenge)

To the best of my knowledge, our 2003 game against the Cards was the last time we scored a TD on offense, defense and special teams in the same game. Pretty amazing when you consider how good our defenses and special teams were over the last decade.

7 long years have passed since we last accomplished this feat. Good job boys!

i forget what team we were facing but i could have sworn the game where mcclain made his name known was a crazy game as well because i know he scored off STs.

McClain blocked a kick and recorded two safeties his rookie year but didn't score a TD.

Wouldn't the block punt count as a ST TD?

The punt rolled out of bounds for a safety.

oh my .... I saw the words 'block' 'punt' 'count' and 'ST TD' ... If you read it too fast like I did and mix up the first letters, it makes for an interesting sentence..like an excerpt of one of Big Ben's police blotters haha
