SALT LAKE CITY \u2014 Former Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley looked hesitant early in his first start of the year. By the end, he looked a lot like the MVP he replaced.<\/p>\n
Huntley completed his final 11 passes and powered across the goal line for a 1-yard touchdown in overtime to lift the Baltimore Ravens to a 30-23 prime-time win over the Atlanta Falcons.<\/p>\n
For a Ravens team trying to prove it belongs among the AFC’s Super Bowl contenders, the win was more than a survival act. Baltimore needed its backup quarterback to stabilize the offense, create late magic and finish a game that appeared to be slipping away. Huntley did all three, turning a slow start into one of the most important performances of the Ravens’ season.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) October 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Baltimore took the opening kickoff and leaned heavily on its rushing attack during a 10-play drive that ended with a field goal. Huntley completed one of his first three passes, including a would-be touchdown that skipped through the hands of tight end Mark Andrews.<\/p>\n Huntley remained relatively quiet until the final 90 seconds of the first half, when a quarterback sneak turned into a 15-yard gain that allowed Baltimore to use its timeouts and work the clock.<\/p>\n A Snoop sneak went for a lot more \ud83d\ude05 @BALvsATL on NBC\/Peacock Stream on @NFLPlus https:\/\/t.co\/Ou7jKiHQLU<\/p>\n \u2014 NFL (@NFL) October 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n The seventh-year quarterback completed five passes on the drive, but the Ravens settled for a 51-yard field goal and trailed 16-9 at halftime.<\/p>\n Backup running back Justice Hill broke free for a 47-yard gain on Baltimore’s first drive of the second half, setting the Ravens up in the red zone. Two plays later, Huntley found Derrick Henry in the flat for an 18-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n It was just the sixth receiving score among Henry’s 135 career touchdowns, tying Huntley to a small piece of the Hall of Fame-bound running back’s storied career.<\/p>\n Derrick Henry with the catch, the stiff arm, and the score \ud83d\udcaa https:\/\/t.co\/xaCOIi2vFm<\/p>\n \u2014 NFL (@NFL) October 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Baltimore followed with back-to-back three-and-outs as Atlanta pushed its lead to 23-15 with 2:31 remaining.<\/p>\n That is when Huntley’s frenetic play became an asset.<\/p>\n His scramble helped draw a pass interference penalty against the Falcons and moved the Ravens near midfield before the two-minute warning. Three plays later, Huntley hit Rashod Bateman for 30 yards to set up first-and-goal.<\/p>\n On the next snap, Huntley found tight end Devontez Walker for a touchdown, cutting Atlanta’s lead to 23-21 with 40 seconds left.<\/p>\n A perfect throw from Snoop \ud83c\udfaf https:\/\/t.co\/U7Xyvoc4Nu<\/p>\n \u2014 NFL (@NFL) October 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Henry then took a direct snap and rumbled into the end zone for the two-point conversion, forcing overtime.<\/p>\n Huntley continued to execute against a harassing Falcons pass rush in the extra period. His short passing game, paired with Henry’s punishing runs, wore Atlanta down. Baltimore’s opening drive in overtime took more than seven minutes off the 10-minute clock and forced the Falcons to burn all three timeouts.<\/p>\n On first-and-goal, Huntley took the snap from under center and muscled his way across the goal line, giving Baltimore a 30-23 lead after the extra point and leaving Atlanta with 2:57 to respond.<\/p>\n Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton sealed the win two plays later, intercepting Tua Tagovailoa to complete Baltimore’s comeback.<\/p>\n By then, Huntley had done more than keep Baltimore afloat. He had answered every late-game demand, delivered the throws the Ravens needed and finished the night with the kind of poise that can change how a team views its ceiling.<\/p>\n In a game Baltimore needed to validate its contender status, its former Utah quarterback gave the Ravens something even more valuable: belief that their season can survive \u2014 and perhaps still thrive \u2014 with him leading the huddle.<\/p>\n Baltimore Ravens (4-1)Tyler Huntley, QB, Utah: Starting quarterback completed 24-of-32 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns; added six carries for 20 yards and a touchdown on the groundAtlanta Falcons (2-3)No locals on the active rosterSan Francisco 49ers (5-0)Fred Warner, LB, BYU: Starting linebacker had game-high 10 tackles and one quarterback hit on defenseSeattle Seahawks (3-2)Rashid Shaheed, WR\/RS, Weber State: Reserve receiver caught two passes for 23 yards on offense on offense; returned three kickoffs for 86 yards, with a long of 39, on special teamsConnor O’Toole, LB, Utah: Reserve linebacker played only on special teamsDetroit Lions (3-2)Penei Sewell, OT, Desert Hills High (via Oregon): Started at left tackleSione Vaki, RB, Utah: Reserve running back carried six times for 11 yards on offense<\/p>\n Big man had his eyes set on the end zone \ud83d\ude02 https:\/\/t.co\/vcLIplTHRR<\/p>\n
