Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens needed to dig deep to mount a comeback against the Indianapolis Colts and with all their might they scored 16 points to force overtime and win the game, 31-25, after the first possession of the extra period.
The Ravens were down 25-9 with 12:04 remaining in the game. Jackson threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews to cut the lead down to eight points. On the next Colts drive, Calais Campbell came up with a huge special teams play blocking Rodrigo Blankenship’s kick to give Baltimore another chance.

Jackson led the Ravens down the field with 4:35 left in the game and threw a touchdown pass to Andrews to bring Baltimore within two points. Jackson and Andrews would convert the two-point conversion to at least get a chance to send the game into overtime.
On the following drive, Carson Wentz threw a 23-yard pass to Parris Campbell to inch Indianapolis forward. Wentz set up Blankenship for the potential game-winning field goal but he missed from 47 yards out. Blankenship had missed two field goals and an extra point in the game at that point.
Jackson would lead the Ravens on a 10-play, 68-yard drive and end it with a Marquise Brown touchdown to win the game.
