Mark Andrews x2, catches 27-yard score in garbage time
Well, it won’t upset our winner, but it came close. After the Lions went down for a 31-yard Montgomery TD to go up two scores, the Ravens quickly went down the field for a garbage-time touchdown. Mark Andrews caught his second score from 27 yards out, but it was a footnote on this game for our purposes and Montgomery’s second score will deliver him the win. Congrats to all of the David Montgomery ticket holders!
DAVID MONTGOMERY AT THE BUZZER FOR 31 YARDS!
Just when you thought Derrick Henry had it locked away. After nearly breaking a very long rush for a touchdown earlier, David Montgomery broke away clean for a 31-yard score to likely take the crown at the last minute. What an electric way to put a bow on this game.
Montgomery is nearly there as the new King of the End Zone, but the Ravens still have some time on the clock.
Gibbs short score x2
Real Detroit Lions play-calling is back. After a creative flea-flicker got their last drive going, the Lions pull another trick out of the bag to get Jahmyr Gibbs in the end zone for four yards. Ben Johnson who?
We love a good trick-play touchdown, but that won’t come close to threatening Derrick Henry’s lead. But keep an eye on the fireworks in this fourth quarter. Who knows what’s in store for crunch time?
Amon-Ra St. Brown finds end zone from 18 yards out
We’ve got a real back-and-forth game to close out this week. After the Ravens marched down the field on their opening drive of the second half, the Lions came right back with a score of their own. Detroit got into the red zone with an incredible flea-flicker pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown, then ARSB snagged the touchdown to knot things up.
We’re getting further with our TD distances. Perhaps someone will be able to catch Derrick Henry before the night is out.
Mark Andrews catches 14-yard touchdown from Lamar Jackson
It’s been a quiet start to the campaign for Mark Andrews after his brutal drop ended Baltimore’s playoffs last year. But he’s getting loose tonight against the Lions, finally catching his first score of the 2025 season.
That 14-yard score got closer than some of his counterparts in this game, but Derrick Henry remains on top tonight. Let’s see what else is in store for the rest of this game.
Paydirt for Rashod Bateman!
After a fourth-and-goal fiasco on their last drive, the Baltimore Ravens got back on track to tie things with a clinical two-minute drill. Lamar Jackson rolled out to find Rashod Bateman, a favorite red-zone target, for six.
It’s a real short touchdown kind of night. That’s a three-yard score that leaves Derrick Henry as the current King of the End Zone going into halftime. Stay tuned for the second half to see if anyone can upstage him.
David Montgomery grinds out another one-yard TD
The Lions just had one of the drives of the season. After being trapped inside their two-yard line, they rolled down the field on a touchdown drive that lasted over 10 minutes. This time, David Montgomery got the chance to punch it in at the goal line and didn’t waste his opportunity to break out a new celebration.
Now, I’m no math guy, but 28 is a bit more than 1. Good for Montgomery, but that score won’t matter in our King of the End Zone contest as Henry remains the leader.
NEW LEADER! Derrick Henry rumbles 28 yards for a TD
Well, to the surprise of nobody, Derrick Henry is in the end zone during a primetime game. Baltimore’s superstar running back got loose on the first drive against the Lions, rumbling his way to a 28-yard touchdown to tie the game up.
Henry has now set the mark to beat. But we’re in for a busy night between two of the best offenses in the game going head-to-head. Don’t start calculating your bonus bets yet, Henry bettors.
Jahmyr Gibbs strikes first with short-yardage score
We have our first score, and it’s not exactly a long one! After a bold fourth-down conversion in the red zone, the Lions got on the board first in Baltimore. Star running back Jahmyr Gibbs punched it in from one yard out to give Detroit the lead.
It’s safe to assume this won’t be the longest touchdown of the game, but Gibbs has the lead as of now. The action is just getting started, don’t go anywhere!
