Ravens vs. Vikings score: Lamar Jackson rallies Baltimore from two-TD deficit, knocks off Minnesota in OT
Lamar Jackson was at it again, leading the Ravens to another comeback victory
The Baltimore Ravens got back to their winning ways on Sunday, as they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 34-31 in overtime. It was truly a tale of two halves, as Lamar Jackson and Co. came out flat in the opening stanza. They spent a large chunk of the afternoon down double digits, but Baltimore led a furious comeback -- erasing a 24-10 deficit in the second half with three straight touchdown drives.
Even the extra period was dramatic, as Anthony Barr picked off Jackson on the Ravens' first drive. However, Baltimore's defense stood tall, and forced a three-and-out to give the ball back to the offense. From there, Justin Tucker kicked a game-winning 36-yard field goal.
While it wasn't a perfect outing, Jackson was impressive. He threw for 266 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions, and also led the team in rushing with 120 yards on the ground. Baltimore's young receivers shined on Sunday, as Marquise Brown caught nine passes for 116 yards and Rashod Bateman caught five passes for 52 yards. While Minnesota found the loss column for the second straight week, Dalvin Cook had another 100-yard game and Justin Jefferson caught three passes for 69 yards and a touchdown.
An exciting win for the Ravens and a deflating loss for the Vikings. As for what's next, Baltimore is on a short week, as it will take on the Miami Dolphins on "Thursday Night Football." Minnesota will stay on the road, traveling to take on Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Four quarters weren't enough, naturally. What an up-and-down game where we've seen virtually everything. Lamar Jackson and Co. came out flat but really came together in the second half while the Vikings defense struggled towards the end. Unfortunately for Minnesota, Baltimore won the coin toss.
Rashod Bateman is special. Five catches for 56 yards.
