Loop hit it from the Tennessee 46 with 5 seconds left in the first half, on the snap after Lamar Jackson took a sack and left the game hurt. His longest make before this was 57 yards, in Week 1. Only Justin Tucker's 66 yarder in 2021 is longer for a Ravens kicker since 1999. Those last 3 points were also Baltimore's last points of the day.

Why it matters. Eight makes in 28 seasons puts this kick in a tiny group, and seven of the eight came in 2021 or later, which says as much about how far modern kickers now try from as about this one kick. The context made it larger: Baltimore had just lost its quarterback, and it did not score again in a game it won by 6.

Baltimore scored 24 points with Lamar Jackson in the first half and none with Tyler Huntley in the second.

Jackson went 15 of 20 for 222 yards and 2 touchdowns, then was hurt on a sack with 12 seconds left before halftime. Huntley took every snap after the break. Baltimore's second half drives ended in four punts, a missed 40 yard field goal, and two kneel downs. The Ravens dropped back only 9 times in the half, so the plan shifted to the run and the clock.

Why it matters. The swing from plus 0.430 to minus 0.169 EPA per play is the gap between an elite offense and a below average one, and it lines up exactly with the quarterback change. Tennessee's offense also improved after the break, but only to roughly break even, which is why an 11 to 0 second half still left the Titans short. If Jackson misses time, this half is the only sample of the Huntley version of this offense.

Tennessee was stopped on fourth and goal at the 2, and Baltimore answered by going the length of the field.

Trailing 14 to 7, Tennessee ran Tony Pollard four straight times from inside the 10 and gained 6 yards. Nnamdi Madubuike made the fourth down stop. Baltimore then took over at its own 2 and scored in 8 plays, with Jackson's 52 yarder to Zay Flowers doing most of the work. After the extra point, Tennessee's win probability had dropped from 33.2% before third down to 10.9%.

Why it matters. A goal line stand followed by a long touchdown drive is about as large a swing as one sequence can produce: Tennessee left with no points, and Baltimore gained 7. Tennessee lost by 6, so the fourth down call at the 2 is the clearest place the game turned. The Titans' only other trips inside the Baltimore 20 that day ended with a touchdown, a field goal, and the late touchdown with the two point try.

Carnell Tate's 145 receiving yards are the second most by a Titans rookie in a game since 1999.

Tate's day, this game

Targets	Receptions	Yards	Fumbles lost
12	9	145	1

Tate caught 9 of 12 targets, more receptions than any game on this list. His biggest catch was a 33 yarder on fourth and 11 with 1:51 left that set up Tennessee's last touchdown. The other side of his day: a 33 yard catch just before halftime ended in a fumble, and Baltimore turned it into Loop's 64 yard field goal.

Why it matters. Tennessee's rookie receiving list is mostly A.J. Brown's 2019 season, so landing between his games puts Tate in that company in his fourth NFL game. The volume is the more useful signal: 12 targets says Cam Ward is already looking for him as a first option, and nobody else on the Titans had more than 5. The fumble shows the cost of that role too.

In his first game against Tennessee, Derrick Henry scored again: 7 rushing touchdowns in four games, a career best start.

Henry played eight seasons in Tennessee, from 2016 through 2023, and this was the first time he faced the Titans. They held him to 73 yards on 23 carries, but his 5 yard run on fourth and 1 in the first quarter, right after a Ward interception, was the game's first score. He has now scored in all four of Baltimore's games.

Why it matters. Henry's touchdown production is running ahead of his yardage: 3.2 yards per carry in this game, yet still a score, because Baltimore keeps giving him the ball at the goal line. Seven touchdowns in four games beats his 2024 start, which was also his first season with the Ravens. The pace depends on red zone work, so it can fall quickly if the offense stalls, as it did after Jackson left.

Baltimore scored 17 of its 24 points on the three drives that followed a Tennessee giveaway or failed fourth down.

2	8:16	Pollard stopped on 4th and 2	BAL 2	Jackson 3 yard TD pass to Andrews
2	0:35	Tate fumble recovered by Starks	BAL 35	Loop 64 yard FG

Baltimore had 12 possessions and committed no turnovers. Tennessee gave it the ball twice on takeaways and once on downs, and all three ended in points. The other nine Ravens possessions produced a single touchdown, the 19 yard pass to Zay Flowers early in the second quarter.

Why it matters. Tennessee outscored Baltimore 11 to 0 after halftime and lost by 6, so the 17 points from three Titans mistakes or stops decided the game. The interception came on Tennessee's second snap and handed Baltimore a 37 yard field, and the fumble came with 46 seconds left in the half. Take away either of the two touchdowns and the second half comeback is enough.
