The Baltimore Ravens have built up a three-game win streak. They moved to 4-1 after an improbable comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, sending a message about this team under head coach Jesse Minter.
The offense looked steady even without Lamar Jackson at the helm, and the defense finally showed up in the late stages. Sure, there are moments this team will want back, but top to bottom, they proved they’re for real.
Here are five winners and two losers from Sunday’s victory.
5 winners and 2 losers from Baltimore Ravens’ win over Atlanta Falcons
Winner: Tyler Huntley
No question about this one. Tyler Huntley always steps up when the Ravens need him. He has the clutch gene that NFL teams search for in backup quarterbacks, and he showed why the team loves him in Week 5.
24-for-32, 201 yards, 2 touchdown passes. 6 carries, 20 yards, and another touchdown on the ground. Huntley didn’t lead an explosive offense, but he led one that marched down the field, took time off the clock, and scored points.
More importantly, though, Huntley thrived under pressure. That’s why he’s a Raven.
Winner: Kyle Hamilton
The other hero of the night. While Huntley held things down on offense, Kyle Hamilton was once again a star on defense. He can do no wrong.
Hamilton’s been an All-Pro-caliber player since stepping onto an NFL field. But for too long now, Baltimore has had a defense that can’t finish games. Hamilton finished this one in his hometown.
When things aren’t going your way, you turn to your superstar to make a play. Hamilton’s game-sealing interception in overtime stopped the bleeding not just in Week 5, but hopefully the defensive bleeding that’s been happening for years.
Loser: Mark Andrews
Mark Andrews went through it.
His dropped touchdown halted the Ravens at the goal line and forced them to settle for a field goal. His fumble on the next drive gave the Falcons six points and the lead. He also dropped a two-point conversion that could’ve proved costly.
Credit where it’s due, Andrews shook it off and played a part in Baltimore’s comeback win. That’s always the mentality you need to see from a veteran. Still, it was a disastrous game that was almost directly correlated with a loss.
Winner: Mike Green
With Trey Hendrickson out another game, Mike Green was the top dog in the pass-rush room again. And again, he stepped up.
2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 2 QB hits. Green pressured Michael Penix Jr. throughout the night, bending the edge with quickness and nipping at Penix’s ankles to make him uncomfortable. He needs to finish with more authority, but he was getting there.
Green also looked incredibly physical. While not built like a physically dominant edge rusher, he brings that kind of demeanor. He also got busy in the run game, setting the edge, and even bullrushing Jake Matthews right into Bijan Robinson’s lap.

It looks like Green is taking serious strides.
Loser: Soft cornerback play
The Ravens have had issues in coverage all year. Sometimes it’s a scheme problem; other times it’s a player issue. Drake London took advantage of that.
London finished the night with 7 receptions for 118 yards. He signed a four-year, $141 million contract for a reason; I get that. However, the coverage from Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, and Chandler Rivers was just too darn soft.
And like clockwork, there were also missed tackles that have been an all-too-common theme for this defense.
Luckily, they locked down when it mattered, but if they want to compete for a Super Bowl, consistency will be key.
Winner: Rashod Bateman
Rashod Bateman was who Tyler Huntley needed him to be. He caught five of six targets and led the team with 62 receiving yards. He was an intermediate playmaker and kept Atlanta’s defense honest.
Crucially, Bateman was a chain mover. In addition to averaging 12.4 yards per catch, all five of his receptions went for first downs.
Those included a 3rd-and-11 play to set up a field goal ahead of halftime, a 20-yard gain to set up an eventual game-tying touchdown, and a 5-yard gain to get inside Atlanta’s 20-yard line on the game-winning touchdown drive.
In a career of inconsistency, Bateman was as reliable as it gets.
Winner: Run defense
Entering this one, the Ravens were a team that struggled making open-field tackles, squaring off against the most elusive running back in the NFL, Bijan Robinson. Recipe for disaster, right? Wrong.
The primetime headliner was relatively quiet on Sunday Night Football. On paper, 17 carries for 86 yards seems decent, but take out a 38-yard scamper, and Baltimore’s defensive line won this battle in a BIG way.
If you exclude that run, Robinson only has 16 carries for 48 yards. That’s an average of 3 yards per carry for maybe the league’s best running back. He wasn’t a huge factor in the passing game either, tallying 4 receptions for 32 yards.
Any time Robinson got the ball, or Penix targeted him, the Ravens were bearing down on the backfield.
Major shout-out to the front seven.
