The Baltimore Ravens lost starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, but Tyler Huntley led some late-game heroics in a 10-9 win at home over the Denver Broncos in Week 13.
The Ravens' defense held the Broncos in check, and Denver's defense was able to shut down Baltimore's offense even more with Huntley at quarterback, all the way up until that final drive. Aided by a pair of big Broncos penalties, the Ravens drove all the way down the field for a go-ahead touchdown on a run by Huntley. The Broncos gave them a scare late, but Brandon McManus’ 63-yard field goal attempt fell short as time expired.
Offensive spotlight: Broncos rookie tight end Greg Dulcich was the best pass-catcher on the field on Sunday, picking up six receptions for 85 yards from eight targets in the game. Coming on 22 receiving snaps, he averaged 3.86 yards per route run on the day.
Defensive spotlight: Broncos star safety Justin Simmons recorded two interceptions in the game, making life miserable for Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley. The first came when Huntley forced the ball after being flushed out of the pocket, while the second came on a bizarre play call during one of the Ravens' most promising drives of the afternoon. After a pair of pitches in the backfield, wide receiver James Proche floated a ball into the end zone that Simmons easily picked off.
Rookie spotlight: After missing last week, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton was back on the field, taking up his role as their primary slot defender once again. From 11 snaps in coverage in the slot, the 2022 14th overall pick allowed one reception for five yards on two targets.
Offensive line spotlight: Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum had one of his best games in the NFL as a pass-blocker, according to our initial grading. From 48 pass-blocking snaps, he allowed zero sacks, zero hits and three hurries. Run blocking had been the strength of his season so far, and he was solid again in that facet this week, but his pass blocking provides real signs for optimism.
