BALTIMORE -- The forecast for Sunday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Minnesota Vikings (1 p.m. ET, Fox) is cloudy and 58 degrees, a typical fall afternoon.

For six Ravens players and a handful of coaches, there will be flashbacks of a snow-covered field and a historic flurry of touchdowns. The last time the Vikings came to Baltimore was December 2013, when the teams combined for five touchdowns in the final 125 seconds in an unforgettable 29-26 victory for the Ravens.

This week, Ravens coach John Harbaugh gave an animated and detailed play by play of the final minutes of that wild win for the defending Super Bowl champions, from Jacoby Jones’ dramatic 77-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to Joe Flacco’s winning, 9-yard touchdown pass to Marlon Brown.

Asked if he had just watched the highlights of the game, Harbaugh placed his index fingers to his temple, saying, "It’s ingrained. It’s ingrained in my mind, man.”

This unreal finish also made a lasting mark on the NFL record book:

• It was the first game in NFL history with five go-ahead touchdowns in the final 2:30 of the fourth quarter.

• It was the first with six lead changes in the fourth quarter.

• The five touchdowns in 2 minutes, 5 seconds were the fastest that five touchdowns were scored in the last 50 seasons.

• The 36 combined points were the most in a final 2:30 of a game over the last 50 years (previous high was 24 points).“I’ve never played in a game like that,” Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith said after the game. "I’ve never even played a video game like that.”

  For the first three quarters, all the talk was about the snow on the field, not the play on it. Throughout the first half, small tractors with plows and workers with shovels tried to clear the snow without much success.

  The footing was so poor that players couldn’t cut or change directions. The messy field conditions led to few highlights and a -- yawn -- 7-6 Ravens lead entering the fourth quarter.

  “The thing that stands out the most about that was you really saw how much everybody cares in this building, the organization, because there were people from marketing [that were] grabbing shovels,” Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale said, reenacting his reaction by turning his head and crinkling his nose. "You’re like, ‘What are you doing?’”

  The snow ended in the second half, and the playmakers for both teams soon started to gain traction.

  After the Vikings jumped ahead 12-7 early in the fourth quarter, Flacco found tight end Dennis Pitta for a 1-yard touchdown. Baltimore’s two-point conversion gave the Ravens what seemed to be an insurmountable 15-12 advantage with 2:05 remaining.

  "At the time, I’m sitting there, thinking, ‘Man, I just caught the game-winning touchdown,’” Pitta recalled this week. "There was no way the Vikings are going to drive all the way down and score a touchdown on us. We’re celebrating on the sideline.”

  Just 38 seconds after Pitta’s touchdown, Vikings running back Toby Gerhart (subbing for an injured Adrian Peterson) ran a draw 41 yards for a touchdown and put Minnesota up 19-15.

  On the ensuing kickoff, Jones somehow went the distance to give Baltimore a 22-19 edge with 1:16 left to play -- after giving Harbaugh quite a scare. The Ravens had prepared for Minnesota’s pooch kick to the left side, and had their return all set up for it. All they needed was for Jones to run up and catch the short kickoff.

  "I look down there, and I see Jacoby, and he’s in the far corner looking up in the stands,” Harbaugh said. "He told me later he was talking to his mom. So, I’m like, ‘Jacoby! Jacoby! Jacoby! Jacoby!’ He looks over, and he starts running over full speed. And if you remember, running full speed, catches it on the run and houses it.”

  Harbaugh thought that was the winning play ... for all of 31 seconds.

  Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel then threw a screen pass to Cordarrelle Patterson, who turned it into a 79-yard touchdown. Minnesota jumped back ahead, 26-22, with 45 seconds remaining.

  Then, Flacco drove the Ravens 80 yards in a matter of five plays and 41 seconds for the winning touchdown.

  "So, five teams won that day,” Harbaugh said, "but we won the last time, and that’s the one that counted the most.”

  There are a half-dozen current Ravens players who experienced that unbelievable game: Smith, inside linebacker Josh Bynes, outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, defensive back Anthony Levine, punter Sam Koch and kicker Justin Tucker.

  Those players have all witnessed some memorable finishes this season, from Tucker’s winning 66-yard field goal in Detroit to Lamar Jackson’s two fourth-quarter comebacks from double-digit deficits. Finding a way to win in the closing seconds has become commonplace in 2021.

  But that back-and-forth, last-minute scoring frenzy against the Vikings eight years ago trumps them all. The next day, the headline in The Baltimore Sun read: "Snow way."

  “That’s probably the wildest game by far I played in,” Bynes said. “Everything was a blur."
