Baltimore Ravens Hit 10 Wins After Walk-Off Victory vs. Rams
The Baltimore Ravens won a thrilling game 37-31 in overtime against the Los Angeles Rams at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.
The Ravens defense forced a three-and-out from the Rams on their first possession of overtime and head coach Sean McVay decided to punt the ball on 4th-and-9. Little did he know that it would be the last decision he made in the game, as Tylan Wallace returned the punt 76 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
The win briefly moved Baltimore into sole possession of first place in the AFC, with the 9-3 Miami Dolphins taking on the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football.

Lamar Is Locked In
Lamar Jackson completed 24 of his 43 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns while adding in an additional 70 yards with his legs in the overtime win over Los Angeles. Despite leading his team to a 9-3 record leading up to the game, he hadn't been putting up flashy numbers like some of the other quarterbacks in the league.
Jackson's three touchdowns against the Rams marks just the third time this season that he has had three or more total touchdowns in a game.
Likely Can Fill The Mark Andrews Hole
When Mark Andrews went down with a season-ending ankle injury in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals, it dealt a huge blow to Baltimore's Super Bowl chances. Although he may be able to return if the Ravens make a deep run, they need someone to step up in his absence.
That someone has been second-year tight end Isaiah Likely. In his first game as the starter, he recorded a solid four receptions for 40 yards. Against the Rams, he gave the defense trouble, tallying five catches for 83 yards and a touchdown including a huge 54-yard reception that opened the scoring for Baltimore.
Kyle Hamilton's Injury
Safety Kyle Hamilton exited the game twice due to injury on Sunday. In the first half, he was evaluated for an injury but was able to return to the field to continue playing. However, midway through the third quarter, he came up limping after getting blocked out of bounds and was ruled out for the rest of the game with a knee injury.
Hamilton has been one of the best players on the Ravens this season, and it would be a huge blow if he were to miss multiple weeks to injury. This year, Hamilton has accumulated 62 tackles, nine tackles for loss, nine passes defended, 3.0 sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
