Veteran defensive tackle who made his first NFL career interception against Browns deserves his moment in the spotlight.

A mic'd up moment from the Ravens' win over the Browns shows teammates joking with DT Michael Pierce, who had a couple of reasons for sliding down after the pick.

Pierce, who played in college at Tulane and Samford, is in his second stint with the Ravens after he went undrafted in 2016. He played in Baltimore from 2016-19 and returned in 2022 after a stint with the Minnesota Vikings.

Pierce’s first career interception helped seal the AFC North title for the Ravens, and cameras captured the excitement from his teammates, turning the unforgettable moment into a viral sensation. The play happened late in the fourth quarter when Pierce dropped into coverage and intercepted a pass thrown by Browns quarterback Bailey Zappe.

Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry might have made history as the Baltimore Ravens clinched the AFC North with a 35-10 win over the Cleveland Browns, but defensive tackle Michael Pierce stole the show with an incredible big-man interception in the fourth quarter.

Michael Pierce is in his eighth season in the NFL. Seven have been with the Baltimore Ravens. In his 99th career game, the 6-0, 355-pound defensive tackle made his first NFL interception. The Baltimore Ravens were up 35-10 on the Cleveland Browns on Saturday when Bailey Zappe dropped to pass late in the fourth quarter.
