Follow along here for live updates and highlights throughout the game.
First Quarter
- After a 12-yard run from Saquon Barkley to start the game, the Eagles couldn't get it going on their first drive. They had to punt on 4th-and-16 from their own 36 after a holding penalty by Rick Lovato.
- Penalties plagued the Eagles early, as Kelee Ringo was called for fair catch interference on the punt to give the Ravens 15 additional yards. On 3rd-and-5, a Josh Sweat sack was negated after a holding call on Avonte Maddox. Lamar Jackson hit Zay Flowers for a 40-yard gain on the following play to set the Ravens up at the Eagles' 17. Justin Tucker knocked in a 34-yard field goal to open the scoring after Jackson couldn't hit Mark Andrews on 3rd-and-9. (Ravens 3 – Eagles 0)
- The Ravens found the end zone on a 14-yard jump ball pass from Jackson to Andrews to extend their lead. Henry led Baltimore down the field, combining for 45 yards from scrimmage on the drive (29 rushing, 16 receiving). Tucker missed the extra point off the left goalpost to keep it a single-digit lead. (Ravens 9 – Eagles 0)
- The Eagles could not get it going on offense throughout the quarter, as Hurts was sacked on 3rd-and-7 to force a punt with 1:47 to play in the quarter.
Second Quarter
- Braden Mann pinned the Ravens at their own 1-yard line with the help of Sydney Brown after a 58-yard punt to begin the second quarter. The Ravens went three-and-out, giving the Eagles the ball at the 49 of Baltimore as they looked to create some offense.
- "I just ran down the field. I think there's a lot more credit to Braden (Mann), put in a great spot, great roll. All I did was have to go down it on the one," Sydney Brown said. And what that does, it just puts them in a difficult position. And when you're playing backed up offense, it's hard to really get something going because of the risk of safety. So, whenever we can get them down there, and it's been a goal since the start of year and it was the first one of the year, so just try to keep on going. All credit to Braden though."
- TOUCHDOWN! Hurts hit Goedert for a 17-yard catch and run to put the Eagles on the board with 8:04 left in the half. The Birds made quick work of the good field position with a six-play, 49-yard drive in 2:51 of game time. (Ravens 9 – Eagles 7)
- After Zack Baun wrapped up Henry for a loss of 5 on 3rd-and-2, the Eagles offense took over at their own 32. Hurts hit Brown for multiple 15-yard gains followed by a 14-yard gain as the Eagles worked their way into Ravens territory.
- TOUCHDOWN! After his 9-yard run was stopped short at the 1, Hurts and the Eagles Brotherly Shoved their way into the end zone to give the Eagles their first lead at the 2-minute warning. (Eagles 14 – Ravens 9)
- SACKS! Nolan Smith brought down Jackson for a loss of 4 to bring up 2nd-and-14 from the Ravens' 49 with 1:13 left in the half. A few plays later, Jalen Carter brought down Jackson for a loss of 12 yards.
- "All sacks are big, but thanks to my boy Milt (Milton Williams). Last week, you all can say I helped him get his, but this time, he helped me get that sack. I'm thankful for him," Carter said. "We had a little game plan going on and he scrambled, I took an angle and got there and made the play."
- Tucker hit a 50-yard field goal with three seconds remaining in the half to make it a two-point game. (Eagles 14 – Ravens 12)
Third Quarter
- On 3rd-and-8, Jackson found Andrews for a 23-yard gain to set the Ravens up at the Philadelphia 20 on their opening drive of the half. Quinyon Mitchell was injured on the drive and came out. Ringo would come in at the 11:22 mark. He would return on the following drive (8:16).
- SACK! Baun and Jalyx Hunt took down Jackson on 3rd-and-5 for a loss of 14 yards. Tucker would miss the 47-yard field goal to keep it a 2-point game. (Eagles 14 – Ravens 12)
- "This is a good defense. We hold our heads high. I think we earned the right to have some confidence, going into any game," Baun said after the game. "It was no adjustments made. It was just locking onto our keys, scrambling quarterback, locking onto our guys and staying in our coverage."
- Reed Blankenship left the field after taking a hit on an incomplete pass downfield. Tristin McCollum would come in for him with 2:23 remaining in the quarter. Blankenship was ruled out with a concussion.
- Tucker missed his third kick of the night after a 53-yard attempt went wide right to keep it at 14-12 with 1:21 left in the quarter.
Fourth Quarter
- A 9-yard gain on 3rd-and-7 followed by a 14-yard run from Barkley set the Eagles up in Ravens territory as the clock ticked under 9 minutes.
- TOUCHDOWN! Barkley broke through defenders and got around the right side for a 25-yard touchdown run to extend the lead for the Eagles. (Eagles 21 – Ravens 12)
- "It was a great call. We have an unbelievable offensive line. I think week in and week out you guys have already been seeing that," Barkley said. "I kinda of saw the look, just trusted that he (Jordan Mailata) was going to make the block and I just ran through as fast as I can."
- Dallas Goedert (knee) was listed as questionable to return. Britain Covey was ruled out with a neck injury.
- The Eagles defense continued to shut down the Ravens, stopping them on 4th-and-8 from their own 42 after McCollum nearly picked off Jackson.
