Ravens rally to defeat Falcons 30-23 in overtime
Baltimore overcame an eight-point deficit late in regulation, scoring in overtime to beat Atlanta 30-23, while the Falcons lost quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to a rib injury.
Baltimore rallied from an eight-point hole with 2:25 left in the fourth quarter, scoring a touchdown and a two-point conversion to force overtime. In the extra period, backup quarterback Tyler Huntley ran for a one-yard touchdown and the defense sealed the win with an interception by Kyle Hamilton, giving the Ravens a 30-23 victory.
Huntley completed 24 of 32 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns, adding six rushes for 20 yards, including the game-winning run. Derrick Henry contributed 102 rushing yards and an 18-yard receiving touchdown, while Justice Hill added 73 yards on the ground, highlighted by a 47-yard run that set up a score.
Atlanta led most of the contest and had a chance to win in the final minute, but starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffered a hard hit while being sacked with 27 seconds remaining, resulting in a rib injury. He finished with 240 passing yards, 19 completions on 32 attempts and one touchdown before leaving the game. Tua Tagovailoa entered for a single snap in the fourth quarter and returned for Atlanta’s final drive in overtime, completing a 20-yard pass to Drake London before his pass was intercepted by Hamilton.
The win improves Baltimore to 4-1 heading into a Week 6 road game against division rival Cleveland. Atlanta falls to 2-3 and will host the Chicago Bears the following week, likely with a backup quarterback.
