The Tennessee Titans set the tone earlier this season against the Baltimore Ravens when they danced on the Ravens logo. Baltimore got revenge on Sunday.
Following a clutch interception by Marcus Peters, members of the Ravens celebrated on the Titans logo at midfield:

With the game on the line, the Titans needed a clutch drive from Ryan Tannehill and the aerial attack. But Peters was able to give Baltimore's offense an opportunity to put the final stamp on the game after Kalif Raymond ran into Peters and fell down on the errant toss:
Mike Vrabel said the officials told him that Kalif Raymond ran into Marcus Peters and that's why he didn't call pass interference. #Titans

With Tennessee adding fire to the rivalry earlier this season by dancing on Baltimore's logo in pregame warmups — which led to a shouting match between John Harbaugh and Mike Vrabel — the Ravens gave them a taste of their own medicine.
While the decision to repay the favor was warranted, the officials did throw a flag for taunting. Nevertheless, Lamar Jackson then sent the Titans home by running for a late-game first down to give him 137 rushing yards on the day.
In recent seasons, the Ravens and Titans have built the foundation of a heated rivalry. Though, in the previous two meetings before Sunday, Tennessee had bested Baltimore, including last season's playoff tilt.
Following Sunday's loss, Vrabel was asked about the Ravens dancing on the logo and insinuated that the same question should be asked to Harbaugh:
Mike Vrabel didn’t have anything to say about the Ravens dancing on their Titans logo: "I coach the Titans not the Ravens."
There’s that.

As for the Baltimore side of things, Derek Wolfe said that the team chose to conduct the celebration to show unity:
Ravens DE Derek Wolfe on team celebration on Titans' logo after Marcus Peters' interception: "This is an emotional football game. Sometimes, you act out of emotion. It wasn't disrespect. It was more about team unity."

While Jackson got his elusive first playoff win on Sunday, there seems to be a growing discord between the Ravens and Titans.
