The Baltimore Ravens celebrated a game-sealing interception against Tennessee in the NFL playoffs by dancing and stomping on the Titans' logo.<\/p>\n
Cornerback Marcus Peters claimed an interception with just under two minutes remaining in the final quarter. With Baltimore leading 20-13, it all but confirmed a win for the Ravens in the wildcard match-up and eliminated the Titans.<\/p>\n
Peters and the Ravens defense weren't satisified only with the clutch play. The cornerback ran to the Titans' logo on the halfway line, joined by teammates, and rubbed salt into the wound with a savage celebration.<\/p>\n
It earned Baltimore a penalty for taunting. The act was a measure of revenge, as Tennessee players stood over the Ravens' logo pre-game when the teams last played.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was Baltimore's first playoff win in six years and a first for star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was unapologetic about his team's taunting and also for refusing to shake hands with Titans players.<\/p>\n
"We didn't see what went on before the game the last time. [Later we saw] they were standing on our logo and getting into it with our coach. That was disrespectful because we treat all our opponents with respect," Jackson said.<\/p>\n
"There wasn't any reason for us to shake hands."<\/p>\n

Sometimes you just act out of emotion," he said.<\/p>\n "It wasn't a disrespect thing, it was more of a team unity thing. I don't think it's a big deal."<\/p>\n Titans coach Mike Vrabel simply said: "I coach the Titans, not the Ravens."<\/p>\n The celebration sparked major backlash on social media; glee from Ravens fans, rage from Titans supporters.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/em><\/strong> clicking here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Baltimore Ravens celebrated a game-sealing interception against Tennessee in the NFL playoffs by dancing and stomping on the Titans' logo.
