Ravens Rally Past Falcons 30–23 in Overtime Behind Huntley and Hamilton
Baltimore needed a touchdown, a two-point conversion and another answer in overtime. Tyler Huntley and the Ravens delivered all three, beating Atlanta 30–23 on Sunday night, October 11th, before Kyle Hamilton’s interception ended the Falcons’ final possession. The victory lifted Baltimore to 4–1 and kept it atop the AFC North.
Huntley finishes the job
Starting for Lamar Jackson, who was sidelined by an ankle injury, Huntley completed 24 of 32 passes for 201 yards. He threw two touchdown passes and scored the overtime winner himself. Baltimore’s official recap also records 208 rushing yards against a defense that had entered the game allowing only 48.3 per outing.
Derrick Henry carried 24 times for 102 yards. His 18-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter helped Baltimore close the gap after Atlanta had taken a 17–9 lead. The Ravens still needed their best possessions at the end of the night to turn that production into a win.
Two late drives change the game
Atlanta moved ahead by eight with 2:31 remaining in regulation. As the team’s account of Huntley’s performance details, Baltimore then covered 71 yards in six plays. Huntley found Devontez Walker for a seven-yard touchdown, and Henry took the direct snap on the conversion and reached the end zone to tie it.
Baltimore chose to receive after winning the overtime toss. Huntley directed a 14-play, 68-yard possession and finished it with a quarterback sneak. He completed his final 11 passes across the last two scoring drives, providing the precision Baltimore needed when a stalled possession could have ended its comeback.
Hamilton supplied the final stop. His interception on Atlanta’s ensuing possession completed the turnaround and ensured the offense’s late surge held up. For Baltimore, the finish brought together three essential pieces: a composed backup quarterback, a productive running game and a decisive defensive play.
Cleveland preparation begins with injury questions
Monday’s injury update leaves Jackson’s return unresolved. Coach Jesse Minter said his ankle was improving but could not confirm whether he would practice Wednesday. Cam Jurgens was still in the finishing stages of concussion protocol, while Trey Hendrickson and Ja’Kobi Lane could be options against Cleveland; none was declared cleared in that update.
The defense also has work to do. Atlanta converted nine of 17 third downs, and Minter identified that area as a priority. The Ravens leave Atlanta with a dramatic win, but their next assignment is to make those late defensive heroics less necessary.
