As a team, the Ravens have grown tired of talking about their fourth-quarter collapses. That was clear following a Week 2 home loss to the New Orleans Saints during which Baltimore was outscored 15-0 in the final frame. It seemed poised to have a 10-plus hour flight home late Sunday night to think more about the latest example of its maddening habit of losing games in which it seemed to have control.
All it took to change the discussion, at least for one week, was for Jackson to lead the Ravens on an 11-play, 64-yard go-ahead drive and hit rookie tight end Matt Hibner for his first career touchdown; for the struggling defense to hold the Cowboys to a game-tying field goal after Dallas had a first-and-goal from the 2-yard line in the final 25 seconds; and for Jackson to hit Flowers for 27 yards on a play that took six seconds.
That’s all the Ravens had to work with. And even after all of that, Loop still had to make the kick.
Per ESPN, it was the quickest game-winning drive in NFL history.
