In a fiercely-competitive NFL that often leaves rookies still piecing the full puzzle together by month No. 2, Patrick Queen’s extraordinary play encouraged questions such as: just how many footballs would be saved for celebration after Oct. 11, 2020's game? Ultimately settling on a “modest” two, Baltimore’s first-round standout found his hustle rewarded, turning a teammate’s tackle-and-strip into a recovery, followed by an untouched, 53-yard touchdown. Threatening a shutout over the first 59 minutes, Queen’s Ravens prevailed in a 27-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors just five weeks into his career, Queen’s loaded box score included nine tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries (for 53 yards), and a score.
