Clutch Finish Secures Win
Tyler Huntley completed all 11 of his passes for 80 yards across the final two drives to rally the Ravens from behind. He threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Devontez Walker with under a minute left in regulation to tie the score at 23-23, and Derrick Henry added the two-point conversion. In overtime Huntley converted third downs with throws to Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers before scoring on a 1-yard quarterback sneak to end a 14-play drive.
Strong Second-Half Turnaround
Huntley went 11 of 18 for 97 yards in the first half. He improved sharply after halftime by completing 13 of his final 14 passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns. The eight-point fourth-quarter rally marked the largest comeback in a game started by a backup quarterback in 11 years. The Ravens improved to 4-1 and took a one-game lead in the AFC North.
Continued Success Without Starting Quarterback
With Lamar Jackson sidelined by a sprained left ankle, Huntley earned his third straight win as the starter. Baltimore is now 7-11 in games Jackson has missed, and Huntley has started six of those seven contests. The team has not set a return timetable for Jackson ahead of its next game.
