Tyler Huntley led Baltimore to a last-minute tying drive and then scored the overtime winner as the Ravens beat the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 on Sunday night (AEDT Monday) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
According to the ESPN final and NFL.com, Huntley threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Devontez Walker with 40 seconds left in regulation, Derrick Henry ran in the two-point conversion to make it 23-23, and Huntley punched in a 1-yard sneak in overtime for the 30-23 win. Baltimore moved to 4-1; Atlanta fell to 2-3.
Huntley started with Lamar Jackson sidelined by an ankle injury and completed 24 of 32 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, ESPN’s box score showed. He also rushed six times for 20 yards and the overtime score. Henry ran 24 times for 102 yards against Atlanta’s run defence and caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Huntley in the third quarter.
Jessie Bates III returned a recovered fumble 36 yards for a first-quarter touchdown, and Michael Penix Jr. hit Kyle Pitts Sr. for a 5-yard score in the second as Atlanta led for much of the night. Nick Folk added field goals of 23, 34 and 48 yards; Baltimore’s Tyler Loop was three-for-three, including two from 51 yards.
Drake London finished with seven catches for 118 yards for the Falcons. Bijan Robinson ran for 86 yards on 17 carries.

Trailing 23-15 after Folk’s 48-yard kick with 2:31 left in the fourth, Huntley drove Baltimore 71 yards in six plays. The Walker touchdown and Henry’s direct-snap conversion forced overtime. Huntley then capped a 14-play, 68-yard overtime drive with the 1-yard sneak for the lead.
Penix left late in the fourth with a rib injury and was listed as questionable afterwards, ESPN reported. Tua Tagovailoa took over in overtime, completed 2 of 3 passes for 34 yards, and threw an interception to Kyle Hamilton that ended the game. Penix had finished 19 of 32 for 240 yards and one touchdown before exiting.
