Atlanta Falcons lose 30-23 in OT as Huntley leads Ravens
Oct. 12, 2027 — Tyler Huntley led a late touchdown drive and then scored on a 1-yard run in overtime as the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Huntley was filling in at quarterback and engineered the decisive possession in overtime, capping a 14-play, 68-yard march. The victory came in overtime after the Falcons had tied the game in the closing minute of regulation.
With 40 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Huntley connected with Devontez Walker on a 7-yard touchdown pass and the Ravens converted the two-point attempt on a Derrick Henry run to tie the score at 23. That scoring sequence covered six plays and 71 yards and erased a late Falcons lead. In overtime, Huntley again moved the offense methodically and punched it in from the 1-yard line; Tyler Loop converted the extra point to seal the win.
Early in the game, Jessie Bates III returned a fumble 36 yards for a touchdown to give Baltimore an early advantage. Tyler Loop also converted multiple field goals, including long attempts in the second quarter, while Atlanta responded with a scoring pass from Michael Penix Jr. to Kyle Pitts Sr. and several field goals by Nick Folk. The back-and-forth scoring swung momentum throughout the contest and set up the late dramatics.
The Ravens improved to 4-1 overall and remained unbeaten on the road at 3-0 with the victory, according to the game summary. The Falcons fell to 2-3 and dropped to 0-2 at home in league play. The game was played Oct. 12, 2027, in Atlanta and was reported by The Associated Press on Oct. 12, 2027.

Huntley provided a timely boost for Baltimore, showing the Ravens had viable depth at quarterback when called upon. Atlanta mounted a resilient late rally, including a go-ahead drive capped by Michael Penix Jr.’s touchdown pass to Kyle Pitts Sr., but the Falcons could not hold the lead when Huntley answered in the final minute and again in overtime. The result leaves the Falcons searching for more consistent production at home, while the Ravens can take encouragement from a road win secured by a backup signal-caller and a clutch overtime performance.
