Lamarr Jackson then answered quickly with a strike to his wide receiver Murray to make the scoreboard read 24 -17 in their favor. But with 3 minutes remaining, Darren Waller scored a TD catch making the game tied late in the 4th. The Ravens answered quickly with a field goal to regain the lead. at 27-24, leaving Raiders with 39 sec left for one more drive.
Carr took the ball and drove down to allow Carson to make a kick that would send them to overtime.
In overtime, the Raiders would take and drive the length of the field and run into trouble once they could smell the endzone. Carr would throw an errant pass that would be picked off by Averett, but on the next series, Lamarr Jackson would give it right back to the Raiders with a Fumble of his own. Carr would then throw to Jones for a touchdown for the game-winning score. Jackson threw for 235 while Carr threw for 435.
