Monday Night Football: Ravens lead Chargers 14-13 at halftime

The Ravens rolled the dice, with John Harbaugh getting aggressive in a matchup against his brother.

The Ravens went for it on fourth-and-1 at their own 16 with two minutes left in the first half. They got it with tight end Mark Andrews making a direct snap from 2 yards.

Five plays later the Ravens had the lead.

Baltimore scored back-to-back touchdowns and took a 14-13 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The Ravens started slowly on offense before Derrick Henry got them going with 44 yards on three carries on a seven-play, 70-yard drive. Lamar Jackson scored on a 10-yard run to cut the Chargers’ lead to 10-7.

The Ravens then went 93 yards in just eight plays, with the fourth down play keeping the drive alive. Rashod Bateman scored on a 40-yard reception from Jackson, who threw for a touchdown in a 19th straight game. It came with just 24 seconds left in the half.

However, the Chargers used every second for a 52-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker on the final play of the half. Dicker previously had a 42-yard field goal.

Quarterback Justin Herbert ran for a 5-yard touchdown on the Chargers’ opening drive.

The Chargers have outscored the Ravens 202 to 176, with Herbert going 13 of 18 for 129 yards. JK Dobbins has six carries for 40 yards but is in the X-ray room and questionable to return with a knee injury.

Ladd McConkey has three catches for 41 yards.

Jackson has completed 5 of 9 passes for 89 yards and a touchdown, with Bateman catching the touchdown from 40 yards. Zay Flowers has one reception for 22 yards and Andrews has two for 18 yards.

Henry has nine carries for 66 yards.
