RAVENS 13, PANTHERS 3

-

BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Baltimore forced three late Carolina turnovers.

Justin Tucker kicked two field goals, including a tiebreakin­g 37-yarder with 8:27 remaining. Then Marcus Peters forced a fumble by Shi Smith, giving the Ravens the ball at the Carolina 31. Baltimore (7-3) took advantage of a short field, finally reaching the end zone on Jackson’s run with 7:16 to play.

Marlon Humphrey, who recovered Smith’s fumble, later added an intercepti­on. Jason Pierre-Paul also picked off a pass in the final minute.

The AFC North-leading Ravens won their fourth consecutiv­e despite being stuck in neutral offensivel­y for much of the game. Jackson threw for 209 yards with an intercepti­on and Demarcus Robinson caught nine passes for 128 yards, but that was about all that was working for either team offensivel­y on a chilly, windy day in Baltimore.

Tucker and Eddy Pineiro traded 32yard field goals, leaving the score tied at 3 through three quarters.

The Ravens, who have led every game this season by double digits at some point, have had some rough fourth quarters — but this wasn’t one of them. Baltimore drove 67 yards in 12 plays to set up Tucker’s second field goal, and then Jackson’s TD gave them a 10-point lead that felt pretty safe.

Jackson was intercepte­d once during a first half that remained scoreless until Tucker kicked a field goal on the final play.
