In the third consecutive Sunday showdown across the pond in London, the Baltimore Ravens showed up in style, taking care of business with a 24-16 victory against the Tennessee Titans. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens lived up to their reputation as they covered the spread, entering the game as four-point favorites.
As we tuned into the game, many of us were actively engaged in some spirited betting action. The final score of 24-16 left many scratching their heads, as it seemed like both teams spent an eternity inside the five-yard line without finding the end zone. Nevertheless, credit must be given to the Ravens for traveling overseas and securing a pivotal AFC victory, propelling them to a 4-2 record.
Derrick Henry, the Titans’ star running back, did his part, amassing 97 yards and scoring a touchdown on 12 carries. However, the Titans’ game plan relies heavily on not falling behind by multiple scores in the first half. They prefer to play staunch defense, apply pressure to the opposing quarterback, and build their offense around a lead that allows Henry to shine. Unfortunately, their plans went awry as Ryan Tannehill suffered an injury, and Malik Willis was thrust into the spotlight in the second half. Unsurprisingly, he couldn’t salvage the situation.
The Ravens’ strategy seemed conservative, but it proved effective. In such a hostile environment, with a 50-50 split crowd, it was vital to secure the win, and they did just that. Lamar Jackson’s performance was solid, and the Ravens maintained control of the game throughout. The end result was a satisfying win for Baltimore.
While it may not have been the toughest loss for the Titans, it was certainly a wake-up call. The Ravens came to London with a mission that they executed flawlessly. This victory signals positive things on the horizon for Baltimore as they continue their journey through the NFL season.
