Watch: Justin Tucker hits game-winning field goal in overtime vs. Vikings

Justin Tucker hits the game-winning field goal in overtime to lead the Baltimore Ravens over the Minnesota Vikings 34-31

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker sent home his 18th game-winning field goal in Week 9 to give the Ravens a 34-31 overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings. Things seemed a little bleak after quarterback Lamar Jackson’s pass was tipped and picked off on the opening drive of overtime, however the Ravens’ defense held the Viking’s offense to a quick three and out.  That’s when Jackson and the running backs used their running game to tire out the Minnesota defense. The Vikings were absolutely gassed as the Baltimore offense ran 89-plays in the game.

This 34-31 overtime win pushes the Ravens’ record to 6-2 to lead the AFC North division.  The team doesn’t have that much time to rest and celebrate the win because they play the Miami Dolphins on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 10.

It’s safe to say that most of the games that Baltimore will be playing from here on out could be tightly contested. Even if the Dolphins look like an easy win right now, every NFL team is a tough challenge, as anything can happen each and every week.

They say “a win is a win”, but there are certainly things that the Ravens need to work on and get better at. After their games against Miami in Week 10 and the Chicago Bears in Week 11 their schedule becomes brutal, so they should try to work out as many issues as possible before Week 12.
