Ravens coach Jesse Minter praised his backup quarterback before the game, stating there's not a locker room in the NFL with more confidence in its backup QB than Baltimore has in Tyler Huntley. A day later, Huntley delivered on that faith by leading Baltimore to a 30-23 overtime comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons. With starting QB Lamar Jackson sidelined by a sprained left ankle, Huntley went 11-for-11 for 80 yards on the final two drives, tying the game with a 7-yard TD pass to Devontez Walker and winning it with a 1-yard QB sneak in overtime.
The 14-play overtime series became the NFL's longest TD drive in eight years. Huntley's second-half perfection—13 of 14 passes for 104 yards and two TDs—helped Baltimore overcome an 8-point fourth-quarter deficit, their largest comeback without Jackson in 11 years. The victory improved the Ravens to 4-1, their best start in five years and a one-game lead in the AFC North.
