WATCH: Mike Wallace goes 95 yards to the house

NFL: Baltimore Ravens at New York Giants Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

For an offense looking for a boost in the passing game, Mike Wallace just provided a massive jolt.

The Ravens’ defense forced Pittsburgh to punt from near midfield, and proceeded to pin Baltimore very deep in their own end with a superb special teams play.

Recently, field positioning like that would be a death sentence for the Ravens offense, but not today. Flacco passed to Wallace short and inside the the numbers. Mike Wallace shook off Mike Mitchell, not a good day for the Steelers safety so far, and burned the Steelers defense with his superhuman speed on his way to the endzone.

The 95 yard reception is the Ravens’ longest play from scrimmage in the regular season in team history.

Wallace’s big play, followed by a Justin Tucker extra point, gave the Ravens a 7-0 lead.

Of note, having a healthy offensive line worked wonders for the Ravens today, as both the passing game and the running game have found success in the first quarter against the Steelers.
