Ravens defeat Falcons in overtime without Lamar Jackson
Baltimore rallied from an eight-point deficit in the final minutes to beat Atlanta 30-23 in overtime, with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley leading the comeback.
Baltimore overcame a late eight-point shortfall to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 in overtime on Sunday night. The Ravens played without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was listed as inactive because of an ankle injury, and relied on backup Tyler Huntley.
Trailing 23-15 with 2:31 left in regulation, Huntley guided a drive that resulted in a touchdown pass to Devontez Walker with 40 seconds remaining. A two-point conversion by Derrick Henry tied the game, sending it to overtime.
In the extra period, Huntley completed several key third-down throws, moving the Ravens into scoring position. He finished the drive with a quarterback sneak for a touchdown, giving Baltimore a 30-23 lead with 2:57 left in overtime. Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa then threw an interception to Kyle Hamilton, sealing the win for Baltimore.
The victory improves the Ravens to 4-1 on the season and demonstrates their ability to win on the road without their starter. Atlanta’s quarterback Michael Penix Jr. left the game with a rib injury and did not return for overtime.
