“Hollywood” Is Ready for the Playoff Stage - BaltimoreRavens.com

Everyone talks about Marquise "Hollywood" Brown's speed and big-play ability. But this season, Brown also showed patience and perseverance, the determination to keep battling even when things weren't going his way.

That's why Brown is a player to watch heading into the Ravens' playoff matchup against the Tennessee Titans. He has been a hot receiver of late, with six of his eight touchdowns this season coming during the past six weeks.

Brown finished the regular season with 58 catches for 769 yards and eight touchdowns, all improvements over his rookie season (46 catches, 584 yards, seven touchdowns). His second-year stats are more impressive when you consider the Ravens passed the fewest times (406) of any team in the NFL.

The postseason can bring out the best in players who love pressure, and Brown fits that mold. When the Ravens lost to Tennessee in last year's playoffs, Brown was a bright spot for Baltimore with seven catches for 126 yards. Now he's a better receiver, more experienced and battle-tested. Brown is rarely the loudest person in the room, but he looks poised to make noise in the postseason.

"It's very exciting to be in this situation and this opportunity," Brown said. "Everything we want is in front of us. We've just got to execute and play the game and have fun."

Brown and his close friend Lamar Jackson had plenty of fun during Sunday's 38-3 romp over the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown caught five passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns, and his 9-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter exemplified the strides he has made as a receiver.

Jackson couldn't find anyone open when he first dropped back to pass, so he rolled to his right to buy time. Brown was in rhythm with Jackson and kept running across the back of the end zone to give his quarterback a target. When Jackson saw a throwing window develop, he whipped a perfect pass to Brown, who caught it and tiptoed to keep his feet inbounds.
