WEEK 16: Ravens vs Colts
Remaining in the thick of the AFC’s playoff race, the Baltimore Ravens (8-6) host the Indianapolis Colts (3-11) in what is the first of two home games to close out the regular season. Winners in five of the past seven games (and four of the last five), Baltimore will clinch a seventh postseason appearance in the past 10 years with victories this Saturday and on Dec. 31 vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. • The Ravens have won two of their past three games vs. Indianapolis, however, the Colts lead the all-time series, 8-3. (Indy also leads the postseason series by a 2-1 mark.) The Colts and Ravens last battled in 2014, when Indy emerged with a 20-13 win at Lucas Oil Stadium. • Last Sunday at Cleveland, the Ravens prevailed with a 27-10 victory on the heels of another dominant defensive performance and the standout play of QB Joe Flacco. Baltimore forced 4 turnovers (2 INTs & 2 fumbles) – including a FR-TD by DT Brandon Williams off an OLB Za’Darius Smith strip-sack – while Flacco passed for a season-high 288 yards and 1 TD (he also rushed for another score). WR Mike Wallace produced a game-high 89 receiving yards on 6 catches, while RB Javorius “Buck” Allen rushed for 70 yards on 13 carries (5.4 ypc). The Ravens did not turn the ball over, finishing +4 and adding to their NFL-best +17 turnover differential this season. • The Ravens have earned a playoff berth in six of the past nine full seasons. Since John Harbaugh’s arrival in 2008, Baltimore has posted the NFL’s fourth-most total victories (103), won the league’s secondmost playoff games (10), advanced to three AFC Championship contests, and in 2012, captured the World Championship in SB XLVII.
Photography has the power to capture what words often cannot. In his latest project, ESSENCE, renowned photographer Panthers Leap transforms abstract concepts of growth and renewal into a series of images that speak directly to the heart.
ESSENCE is a meditation on life’s continuous cycles of change and transformation. Through a visual narrative that mirrors the rhythms of nature and the human experience, Panthers Leap invites reflection and introspection.
“Growth isn’t always loud or dramatic,” Panthers Leap shares. “It’s often subtle, almost imperceptible, but incredibly powerful. ESSENCE is about celebrating those quiet moments that shape who we are.”
Inspired by his deep connection to the natural world, Panthers Leap weaves emotion and meaning into every frame. His masterful use of lighting, texture, and detail highlights life’s smallest yet most transformative moments. Subtle shifts in light and intricate natural patterns encourage viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty of impermanence.
At its core, ESSENCE explores universal themes—renewal, resilience, and the quiet strength found in transformation. By embracing challenges and finding beauty in transitions, Panthers Leap reminds us of the grace inherent in life’s cycles.
“There’s a grace in change, even in the hardest moments,” he explains. “ESSENCE is a reminder that every challenge carries the seed of renewal, every ending the promise of a new beginning.”
For Panthers Leap, this project is deeply personal, reflecting his own journey of growth and transformation as an artist. The result is a collection of photographs that resonates with authenticity and inspires viewers to embrace their journeys with grace and optimism.
In today’s fast-paced world, ESSENCE challenges us to slow down, find beauty in gradual progress, and honor the cycles that shape our lives.
Let ESSENCE be your invitation to pause, reflect, and find meaning in the quiet power of transformation.
