CINCINNATI – Just moments after the Baltimore Ravens' thrilling 41-38 overtime victory over the Bengals, coach John Harbaugh and his players jumped up and down in the locker room with their arms raised and shouted in celebration.

It seemed like everyone was celebrating the Ravens' biggest comeback win in three years – except quarterback Lamar Jackson. Although Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns, he was upset by a botched snap in overtime that nearly cost Baltimore the game.

“This is not an exciting win for me at all… I'm upset about it,” Jackson said. “But we did it, so it’s cool. We won; nothing else matters.”

Jackson led the Ravens in scoring in regulation, leading them to score on all four second-half drives (three touchdowns and a field goal). It was another outstanding game for the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player, who had his second career game with at least 300 yards passing, 4 touchdown passes and 50 yards rushing.

But on Baltimore's first drive of overtime, Jackson glanced at the game clock to make sure there wouldn't be a delay of game penalty and looked away from the snap in pistol formation. Jackson's fumble was recovered by the Bengals, who then missed a potential game-winning 53-yard field goal.

One play after that brief scare, Baltimore running back Derrick Henry ran 51 yards to set up Justin Tucker's game-winning 24-yard field goal. The Ravens won their third straight game (3-2), leaving the Bengals 1-4.

Asked if he was the least excited Ravens player after the emotional win, Jackson replied: “Probably. I just don't like how this situation happened (in) overtime. If that probably hadn't happened, I would be the happiest person ever in a Ravens uniform right now.”

On the same field where Jackson had his jaw-dropping spin move in 2019, he delivered another memorable play. With Baltimore trailing 38-28 with 5½ minutes left in regulation, Jackson evaded 265-pound defensive end Sam Hubbard's pass rush by knocking him stiff to the ground, leaping into the air near the sideline and somehow scoring a 6 -yard touchdown threw pass to tight end Isaiah Likely.

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, the completion probability of this touchdown pass was 31.4%.

“I’ve never seen anyone throw something like that in my life,” Ravens tight end Mark Andrews said. “That’s exactly the type of player he is. The piece is never dead. He’s very special, and that was really cool.”

The Ravens trailed by 10 points three times in the second half, but Jackson brought them back each time. Baltimore's win probability was 9% when Cincinnati led 38-28 with 8½ minutes left in the fourth quarter.

This was the Ravens' first win after a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit since October 2021, when Baltimore rallied from a 16-point deficit to beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-25 in overtime.

“That was like (a) third level of MVP for Lamar,” Henry said. “It was a unique game. (He is) the best player in the league; (He’s) the GOAT for a reason.”
