“Touché” was the only word that came to mind for Will Compton.
That is what the Tennessee Titans linebacker thought as he watched the Baltimore Ravens dance on the midfield logo at Nissan Stadium following cornerback Marcus Peters’ interception. Tennessee’s season ended after Tannehill’s pass, intended for Kalif Raymond, found its way into Peters’ hands.
The game-sealing moment provided the Ravens an opportunity to exact revenge for the Week 11 scuffle over the Titans breaking down pre-game on Baltimore’s logo.
“Touché,” Compton said this week on his podcast Bussin’ With The Boys. “When we come out as a team, we break it down every game in the middle of the field. Since I’ve been here the Titans break it down midfield.”

The Baltimore Ravens didn’t take to midfield for any celebrations Saturday night the way they did seven days earlier at Nissan Stadium.
They had no reason. The Ravens never led and ultimately lost 17-3 to the Buffalo Bills in an AFC Divisional playoff game at Buffalo.
However, Tennessee Titans players – past and present – took to Twitter to celebrate the Bills’ historic triumph and trolled the Ravens on Twitter. And they felt completely justified in doing so.
In Week 11, players and coaches from Tennessee and Baltimore got into a pregame confrontation after the Titans ran out of the tunnel and to the Ravens’ logo at M&T Bank Stadium. Titans players have said that they have done that before every game for several seasons, going back to when Mike Mularkey was head coach.
