Ravens Edge Falcons 30-23 in Overtime Behind Henry’s 102 Yards

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 in overtime Sunday, October 11, 2026, overcoming a fourth-quarter deficit with help from Derrick Henry’s 102 rushing yards to remain unbeaten on the road. Baltimore improved to 4-1 after a tense Week 5 finish at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, while Atlanta slipped to 2-3 despite productive performances from Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London.

Baltimore Keeps the Comeback Within Reach

Atlanta had the better start in front of 72,392 fans, taking a 7-3 lead after the opening quarter. The Falcons added another seven points in the second period, while Baltimore scored six, sending the teams into halftime with Atlanta ahead 14-9. It was an advantage worth protecting, but hardly enough to put the visitors away.

The Ravens narrowed the gap in the third quarter, outscoring the Falcons 6-3 to make it 17-15. That left Baltimore within a field goal entering the fourth, with the outcome still open despite Atlanta having led at every quarter break to that point.

The fourth quarter brought the crucial shift. Baltimore scored eight points to Atlanta’s six, pulling the teams level at 23-23 by the end of regulation. The Ravens had erased a five-point halftime deficit and a two-point deficit entering the final period, turning an uphill road assignment into an overtime opportunity.

Overtime Delivers the Difference

After four quarters failed to separate the teams, Baltimore supplied the only scoring of the extra period: seven decisive points that settled the game at 30-23. Atlanta had matched the Ravens’ total through regulation, but could not add to its score in overtime.

The supplied scoring summary does not identify the winning scorer or provide the overtime possession sequence. It also does not detail turnovers, sacks, red-zone stops, fourth-down attempts or two-point plays. What the quarter totals establish is a Baltimore comeback completed in overtime—not a regulation victory, and not a tie.
