No matter where they are or who is on the field, the Ravens just refuse to quit and die. They added Marlon Humphrey to their growing list of key players out for the season a few days ago, lost Lamar Jackson to an ankle injury early against the Browns and wound up in a 24-6 hole at halftime.
Just like most of their games this season, the Ravens didn’t flinch. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley had a fourth quarter to remember with two touchdown drives, including a strike to Mark Andrew to cut the game within two points.
Huntley had himself a game in the face of adversity.

Down two points with a minute left, the Ravens opted for an onside kick to try and get the ball back.
It worked perfectly, bouncing off of a Browns player right into the arms of Ravens safety Chuck Clark, who recovered the ball just outside of field goal range.

Unfortunately for the Ravens, they couldn’t finish the job after recovering the kick. They failed a fourth down conversion and never got in range for Justin Tucker to attempt a game-winning field goal.
The Ravens moved to 8-5 on the season, barely holding onto the AFC North lead for now.
