Ravens Defeat Falcons 30-23 in Overtime in Atlanta

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 in overtime on Sunday night in Atlanta, rallying without injured quarterback Lamar Jackson as Tyler Huntley led the comeback and scored the winning touchdown.

According to CBS News, Huntley threw two touchdown passes, ran for another score, and completed the comeback after Baltimore trailed 14-9 at halftime. Safety Kyle Hamilton ended the game with an interception.

The Falcons built their halftime advantage after Jesse Bates returned a Mark Andrews fumble 36 yards for a touchdown, while Kyle Pitts added a 5-yard touchdown reception. CBS News reported that Tyler Loop made three first-half field goals to keep Baltimore within reach.

Huntley tied the game late in regulation when he connected with Devontez Walker for a touchdown with 40 seconds remaining, and Derrick Henry added a two-point conversion. The Ravens then took the lead in overtime on Huntley's 1-yard rushing touchdown.

Atlanta quarterback Michael Penix Jr. left briefly after taking a hit and being evaluated for a rib injury, according to Heavy. Tua Tagovailoa entered for one play before Penix returned to the field.

“Tua Tagovailoa came in for a play, but Penix is making his way back in,” reported Ari Meirov, NFL insider.

Meirov reported the brief substitution as Penix recovered from the injury scare. Penix later remained unavailable during the final moments of overtime as trainers evaluated him on the sideline.

“Michael Penix went down holding his ribs and Tua Tagovailoa went in for a snap, as Penix comes back in with under 13 seconds to go,” reported Victoria Newsome, WSPA Georgia reporter.

ClutchPoints reported that Penix finished the game with 19 completions on 32 attempts for 190 yards and one touchdown. Tagovailoa completed one pass for 14 yards before throwing the interception that ended Atlanta's final possession.

CBS News reported the Ravens improved to 4-1 and will visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Oct. 18. The Falcons will host the Chicago Bears on the same date.
