The Baltimore Ravens won their fifth straight game on Monday night, passing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 41-31.

The Buccaneers raced out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter before the Ravens scored the next 34 points. Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson threw for five touchdowns.

Baker Mayfield started well for Tampa Bay, completing eight of his first nine passes for 101 yards and a score. But he threw two interceptions in the first half that led to ten Baltimore points, and the Bucs’ offense could never recapture its form.

The Ravens’ offense, on the other hand, was dominant.

In addition to Jackson’s 281 yards passing, the team added 244 yards rushing on 30 carries — an average of 8.1 yards per carry. Derrick Henry was unstoppable, running for 169 yards on just 15 carries — including an 81-yard rumble in the third quarter that set up Jackson’s fourth touchdown.

Baltimore averaged 9.4 yards per play even after challenging its backups on its final possession.

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers didn’t just lose the game; they also lost several key contributors.

After being limited in practice during the week with a hamstring injury, receiver Mike Evans appeared to aggravate it in the first half. He limped off the field, went to the locker room and never returned after dropping a pass in the end zone in the second quarter.

And in the fourth quarter – when the game was essentially out of control – receiver Chris Godwin was taken away with an air throw on his left leg with just 43 seconds left. Godwin suffered the injury as Tampa Bay attempted a comeback from trailing by 10 points with less than a minute remaining and no timeouts.

The Ravens improved to 5-2 and kept pace with the Pittsburgh Steelers and remained tied for first place in the AFC North.

After a 3-1 start, the Buccaneers lost two of their last three to fall to 4-3.
