NFL: Lamar Jackson guides Baltimore Ravens to fifth win in a row
The Baltimore Ravens fought back from an early deficit to ease to their fifth successive victory with a 41-31 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Two-time Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson threw for 281 yards and five touchdowns as he enhanced his bid to retain that title this season.
The Bucs took an early 10-0 lead but the Ravens replied with 34 unanswered points, with 17 in both the second and third quarters.
The pick of Jackson’s passes came when he found Rashod Bateman with a 49-yard throw in the third quarter, while Justice Hill, Mark Andrews and Derrick Henry also scored touchdowns.
Running back Henry rushed for 169 yards – the fourth time in the past five matches he has surpassed the 100-yard mark.
The win takes the Ravens to the top of the AFC North while the Bucs did not lose any ground in the NFC South because of the Atlanta Falcons’ defeat to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
