Baltimore saved its best football for the final minutes on Sunday night. The Ravens scored the final 15 points of the game to beat the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 in overtime at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, moving to 4-1 and sole possession of first place in the AFC North.
With Lamar Jackson sidelined by an ankle injury, backup Tyler Huntley started and delivered: 24 of 32 passing for 201 yards and two touchdowns, plus the winning one-yard sneak in overtime — three touchdowns accounted for in all. Derrick Henry ran for 102 yards against Atlanta's top-ranked run defence.
The comeback turned in the final minute of regulation. Huntley found Devontez Walker on a seven-yard touchdown pass with 44 seconds left, and Henry converted the two-point try to tie the game 23-23. Atlanta's night unravelled from there: quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who threw for 240 yards and a touchdown, suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter, and Tua Tagovailoa took over in overtime.
Tagovailoa's stint ended the game. Driving Atlanta from its own 28 toward midfield, his pass intended for Drake London was intercepted by safety Kyle Hamilton, sealing the win. Jessie Bates III had given Atlanta an early highlight with a 36-yard fumble-return touchdown in the first quarter. The Falcons fall to 2-3.
