Deja vu? Tylan Wallace answered again in a big moment

As Tylan Wallace ran down the sideline en route to an 84-yard touchdown against the Bengals on Thursday night, he had déjà vu.

Last year, Wallace beat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime with a walk-off punt return touchdown wearing the same Rush uniform and tiptoeing down the same sideline.

When Wallace faced the Bengals on Thursday night, he was ready again.

With the Ravens down by seven in the fourth quarter against the Bengals, Lamar Jackson found Wallace for what appeared to be a short drive, but Wallace could not be stopped.

The fourth-year wide receiver broke three tackles, including a stiff arm, and rappelled down the sideline, touching the white paint with every step, all the way to the end zone.

It was the big moment of Wallace's big night, as he caught three passes for 115 yards in the Ravens' 35-34 win. Coming into the game, he had only 98 receiving yards in his career.

“It feels great,” Wallace said as he passed the 100-yard mark for the first time. “As I said, I was always happy to be able to make a difference for the team, to make a difference in the game, so to be able to do something like that.” [for] For the first time in my career it feels great.

Since being drafted in the fourth round in 2021, Wallace has carved out a role on special teams in Baltimore. Because Wallace primarily receives touches as a punt returner, he hasn't been asked to do much in the passing game, but he knows the ball can come at any time.

“I think it’s more of a mentality. You just never know,” Wallace said. “I feel like early in my career I had these opportunities when I was out there and I feel like either things didn't go the way I wanted or you could say I was for those Moments not ready.”

“I guess you could say experience. The first few years, [I] didn't really take advantage of these opportunities. So now I always know, you just never know when the right moment will come.
