BAL rallies to beat ATL 30–23 in overtime

ATL takes a five-point lead into halftime

BAL opened the scoring with a 21-yard field goal in the first quarter. The lead lasted until a BAL pass from T. Huntley to M. Andrews became a lost fumble and an ATL touchdown, putting ATL ahead 6–3. The extra point made it 7–3, which remained the score at the end of the quarter.

BAL drew within a point in the second quarter on a 51-yard field goal. ATL then extended its lead when M. Penix completed a 5-yard touchdown pass to K. Pitts, followed by a successful extra point. With the score 14–6, BAL added another 51-yard field goal with three seconds left in the half. ATL went to halftime ahead 14–9.

BAL closes the gap in the third quarter

ATL’s 23-yard field goal made it 17–9 in the third quarter. BAL answered with an 18-yard touchdown pass from T. Huntley to D. Henry, cutting the margin to two points. Huntley then targeted M. Andrews on a two-point attempt, but the conversion failed. ATL still led 17–15 when the quarter ended; neither team took the lead from the other during the period.

Two ATL field goals precede a late tie

ATL pushed its lead to five with a 34-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, then to eight with a 48-yarder at 2:35. That left BAL trailing 23–15. With 44 seconds showing, T. Huntley completed a 7-yard touchdown pass to D. Walker. The touchdown brought BAL within two; it did not tie the game on its own.

D. Henry ran in the ensuing two-point conversion, bringing the score to 23–23. The teams remained tied at the end of regulation. BAL had scored eight points on the touchdown and conversion after ATL’s two fourth-quarter field goals had raised its total from 17 to 23.
