Baltimore Ravens Beat Los Angeles Rams In Overtime Thriller For Third Straight Win

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Los Angeles Rams 37-31 in overtime to complete an instant classic.

It took everything they had and then some, but the Baltimore Ravens were able to extend their winning streak to five games and defeat the Los Angeles Rams 31-28 in a thriller on Sunday afternoon.

The situation looked dire, as despite the Ravens moving the ball well, their only points of the second half came in a pair of Justin Tucker field goals. With Baltimore trailing by five, the game essentially came down to a third and 17 from the Rams' 21, when Lamar Jackson hit Zay Flowers for the go-ahead touchdown with less than two minutes to go.

Even then, the game was still far from over. The Rams marched down the field in the final minute and changed, and Lucas Havrisik nailed the 36-yard field goal to force overtime.

Both teams punted on their first possession of the extra frame, but the Ravens took advantage of it as Tylan Wallace ran the punt back 76 yards for the game-winning score.
