WATCH: Lamar Jackson finds Mark Andrews for game-tying touchdown
Lamar Jackson found Mark Andrews for his second touchdown of the game, setting up a game-tying two-point conversion as the Ravens scored 16 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
The Ravens trailed by as much as 19 points in the third quarter. Following a blocked field goal that would have made it a two-score game late in the fourth quarter, Lamar Jackson led the Ravens down the field to tie the game with under a minute left in the fourth quarter.
Jackson has thrown for 394 yards and three touchdowns, finding former Oklahoma tight end Mark Andrews ten times for 133 yards and two touchdowns. The Colts eliminated the run game almost entirely for the Ravens, looking to set a new NFL rushing record if they can put up 100 yards or more rushing. Baltimore has rush for just 66 yards on 21 carries, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry.
Sitting at 3-1 on the season, a win would put the Ravens in the drivers seat of the AFC North division.
Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews are working hard to give them that positioning.
Monday’s game did not come without controversy. Following a review of a huge play in the third quarter between the Baltimore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts, both teams found controversy in the referee’s review decision. The Ravens felt a fumble by quarterback Lamar Jackson should be overturned, and the Colts felt their 99-yard touchdown return should be upheld. The referees ruled the fumble occurred, but the return was called back due to an illegal forward pass.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson appeared to fumble on the Colts’ one-yard line, and the football was recovered by Colts linebacker Darius Leonard. On the return Leonard fell himself, about to be tackled and attempted to lateral pass the football to a quicker teammate. Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers received the lateral pass and sprinted by the Ravens for the 99-yard touchdown return.
The first controversy came for the Ravens as the replay appeared to show Jackson’s knee hit the ground with both hands on the football. The broadcast team quickly identified that it might be upheld as the ball began to spin before Jackson’s knee touched down. The ruling on the field was a fumble, so it would need more evidence to overturn.
The referees would confirm the fumble during their review, beginning the Colts’ side of the controversy. On the return, Leonard’s fantastic team play by giving the ball to a teammate was ruled by the officials as a two-yard forward pass. The penalty brought the football back to the Colts’ 24-yard line before taking away five more yards.
