Story summary

On October 11, the Baltimore Ravens played against the Atlanta Falcons in a pivotal "Sunday Night Football" matchup with potential playoff implications. The game was notable as the Ravens' star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, was out due to an ankle injury and backup Tyler Huntley took over. Despite being underdogs, the Ravens managed an improbable 30-23 overtime win. Early struggles gave way to clutch plays by Huntley and a significant performance by veteran running back Derrick Henry with 102 yards rushing.

The Falcons' Michael Penix Jr., who had been playing well since returning from injury, sustained a rib injury late in the fourth quarter and was replaced temporarily by Tua Tagovailoa. The game featured four sacks on Huntley but also saw him lead crucial drives to tie the score at the end of regulation and secure victory with an OT touchdown. This victory solidified Baltimore's top spot in the AFC North division standings after five weeks.

After a promising start to the potential game-tying drive in the extra frame, Tagovailoa would toss an interception to Baltimore All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton to seal Atlanta's fate.
