In a game Ravens had no business losing, they found a way to do just that

BALTIMORE — As Matt Gay’s 53-yard field goal attempt sailed toward the uprights, several Baltimore Ravens defensive players dropped to the ground. “At the end of the day, we shouldn’t have even been in that position to lose on a game-winning field goal,” said Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton, who was the best player on the field for his team with three sacks, nine tackles, a forced fumble and a pass deflection. The Ravens had given Jackson the ball on the Colts’ 48 after the defense forced a three-and-out to start overtime and Devin Duvernay returned the punt 31 yards. It felt like the Ravens would turn the game into a rout after they took their opening possession 80 yards on 12 plays and scored on Jackson’s 8-yard touchdown run.
