Baltimore Ravens Stop Preseason Game vs. Panthers to Watch Michael Phelps Race

Michael Phelps is a showstopper.

During the Baltimore Ravens' 22-19 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, the team stopped everything to watch the Olympic legend add another gold medal to his collection in the men's 200-meter individual medley.

According to NBC, the Ravens also aired one of Phelps' victories in Beijing during a 2008 preseason game.
