Removing ‘a dark cloud’: How the Ravens’ clutch play ended a 581-game streak

The Baltimore Ravens secured a 30-23 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, overcoming a late fourth-quarter deficit. Playing without injured starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, backup Tyler Huntley helped lead the comeback before safety Kyle Hamilton sealed the win with an interception of Tua Tagovailoa. The victory marked the first time in four years an NFL team won after trailing by eight or more points in the final minute.

Ravens coach Jesse Minter and players highlighted the win as a potential turning point after years of fourth-quarter struggles. Baltimore had posted a 9-15 record in one-score games between 2023 and 2025. Following an earlier fourth-quarter collapse against the New Orleans Saints, the Ravens have now won three consecutive one-score contests.
