Watch: Former Rutgers star Gus Edwards scores touchdown in Ravens win

Gus Edwards has a touchdown run for the Baltimore Ravens.

On Sunday afternoon, the Ravens offense impressed in a 56-19 win over the Miami Dolphins. While Baltimore got contributions throughout their roster, former Rutgers star Gus Edwards played a key role out of the backfield.

With Baltimore facing a 14-10 deficit, Edwards changed the game’s momentum. The 28-year-old gave Baltimore a 14-10 lead on a one-yard run in the second quarter. Edwards touchdown proved to be a fatal blow as the Dolphins trailed for the rest of the game.

 

Just as Edwards has done all season, he came through for Baltimore in the red zone. Edward’s touchdown on Sunday was his 13th rushing touchdown of the season. Before the 2023 campaign, the former undrafted free agent had never recorded more than six touchdowns in a season.

While Edwards took center stage, he was not the only Rutgers product that made headlines. Before kickoff, Ray Rice was honored as the Ravens’ “Legend of the Game.” It is a game day tradition in Baltimore to recognize a former player for his accomplishments on and off the field.

With only one game left in the regular season, Edwards will look to add another touchdown to his resume in Week 18. Before the Ravens begin their playoff run, they will welcome Pittsburgh to M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.

Kyle Hamilton listed as questionable for Ravens matchup vs. Dolphins

Baltimore is set to match up with the NFL’s leading passing attack that’ll feature the NFL’s best wide receiver in Tyreek Hill, and they could be without three defenders in the secondary.
