In a pivotal Week 7 matchup, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Arizona Cardinals 38-24, solidifying their position in the playoff race. With both teams vying for crucial wins, the Ravens showcased their offensive firepower to secure a decisive victory. Lamar Jackson led the Ravens with a steady performance, throwing for one touchdown while managing the game effectively. However, it was Ahmad Hardy's explosive rushing game that stole the show, as he racked up an impressive 138 rushing yards, consistently breaking through the Cardinals' line. On the other side, Jacoby Brissett threw for 257 yards, finding Nick Marsh for a standout performance with 123 receiving yards, but ultimately it wasn't enough to keep pace with Baltimore. Defensively, the Ravens made their mark with D.J. Reader's two sacks, applying pressure that disrupted the Cardinals' rhythm throughout the game. The turning point came in the second quarter when Reader's sack led to a critical turnover, allowing the Ravens to extend their lead and shift the momentum firmly in their favor. Despite Budda Baker's strong defensive effort for Arizona, the Ravens' ability to capitalize on key opportunities proved decisive in this contest.
