Torrey Smith of the Baltimore Ravens came into his match-up on Sunday night against The New England Patriots with a heavy heart after learning the night before that his brother had tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident. Torrey received a phone call at 1 a.m. the night before telling him that his younger brother had died in a motorcycle crash, and he immediately left the team hotel to join the family. In a show of bravery, which some of us can not fathom, Torrey started the game Sunday night and when it was his turn to catch the football, he did in dramatic fashion. Enjoy the wonderful video below of Torrey hauling in a 25-yard TD reception from Joe Flacco and an emotional point at the sky following the grab.
