Lamar Jackson led the charge for Baltimore, throwing for 202 yards and two touchdowns while also contributing with his dynamic playmaking ability. Running back Bijan Robinson was unstoppable on the ground, racking up an impressive 260 rushing yards, and wide receiver Zay Flowers added to the offensive fireworks with 123 receiving yards, making for a well-rounded attack that kept the Colts on their heels.
Defensively, the Ravens were bolstered by a key interception from Kyle Hamilton, which played a pivotal role in swinging momentum their way.
