AFC North Week 5 recap: Ravens on top after gutsy overtime win

The Baltimore Ravens solidified their lead in the AFC North with a hard-fought 30–23 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons, marking their fourth win of the season. Tyler Huntley stepped in for the injured Lamar Jackson, delivering a standout performance with 24-of-32 passing for 201 yards and two touchdowns, including a game-sealing quarterback sneak in extra time.

Derrick Henry added to the offensive firepower with 102 rushing yards and a touchdown on an 18-yard screen pass, while Rashod Bateman led the receiving corps with 62 yards. Despite facing Atlanta’s top-ranked run defense, Baltimore’s ground game amassed 208 yards, and the defense recorded three sacks on Falcons quarterback Michael Penix, who left the game injured mid-drive, paving the way for Tua Tagovailoa’s eventual turnover in overtime.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns’ three-game win streak snapped with a 17–12 road loss to the New York Jets, as Deshaun Watson struggled under heavy pressure, completing just 15 of 33 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown while being sacked eight times. The Browns’ ground game remained stagnant, with Quinshon Judkins managing only 44 rushing yards, while rookie receiver KC Concepcion exited with a concussion.

Pittsburgh, however, bounced back with a 34–22 home win over the Indianapolis Colts, as Jaylen Warren dominated with 188 total yards, setting the tone for the Steelers’ offensive resurgence.
