ESPN (NFL game recap) reported that the Ravens opened the scoring with a 2‑yard touchdown catch by Mark Andrews from Lamar Jackson.

Key plays that decided the outcome

  • Mark Andrews’ 2‑yard TD catch (first quarter) Baltimore Ravens (team recap)
  • Jackson’s fourth touchdown pass sealed the blowout in the fourth quarter NFL.com (what we learned)
  • Miami’s offense managed only 6 points, with no touchdown drives CBS Sports (game tracker)
The pattern: Baltimore’s defense held Miami to field‑goal range territory while the offense capitalized on short fields.

How did Lamar Jackson lead the Ravens to victory?

Lamar Jackson passing stats

Jackson completed 18 of 23 passes for 204 yards and four touchdowns, per Baltimore Ravens (official team recap). That’s an impressive 78.2% completion rate and a passer rating that soared above 120. ESPN (box score) lists his 188 passing yards for the game (accounting for sack yardage), showing he spread the ball effectively.

Rushing contributions from Jackson

While Jackson’s exact rushing yards are not fully broken out in the available box scores, he contributed several scrambles to keep drives alive. The Ravens as a team piled up 150 yards on the ground, USA TODAY Sports Data (team stats) reported, with Jackson likely accounting for a meaningful share.

Why this matters: Jackson’s dual‑threat ability forced Miami to account for him as a runner, which opened up passing lanes for his four touchdown throws.

What were the defensive stats for both teams?

Ravens defensive highlights

  • M. Starks recorded 5 tackles to lead Baltimore ESPN (box score)
  • The Ravens held Miami to 87 rushing yards and 245 passing yards USA TODAY Sports Data (team stats)
  • Baltimore’s defense allowed only 6 points, forcing the Dolphins into field‑goal range twice CBS Sports (game tracker)

Dolphins defensive stats

Miami’s defense allowed 338 total yards and 56 total plays, USA TODAY Sports Data (team stats) noted. They struggled to generate pressure on Jackson and gave up big plays in the passing game. The Dolphins recorded no reported sacks or turnovers in the available box scores, ESPN (box score) shows.

The implication: Baltimore’s offensive line gave Jackson time to find his receivers, while Miami’s defense couldn’t stop the run or the pass consistently.

Which Miami Dolphins players had notable performances?

Dolphins offensive stats

Tua Tagovailoa completed passes for 245 yards, USA TODAY Sports Data (team stats) reported, but the offense failed to reach the end zone. Miami amassed 87 rushing yards and 18 first downs, but they couldn’t convert in the red zone. CBS Sports (game tracker) listed net yards as 332 for Miami, just 6 fewer than Baltimore’s total.

Injury updates on Tyreek Hill

Tyreek Hill’s status was a question entering the game — he had been listed on the injury report — but specific details about his availability and performance were not fully disclosed by game time. NFL.com (what we learned) noted Miami’s offense struggled overall, though Hill’s individual stats were not highlighted in the recap.

The trade‑off: Without a top receiving threat at full strength, Miami’s passing game lacked the explosive plays needed to keep pace with Baltimore’s attack.

— ESPN (NFL game recap)

Team stats: total yards 338‑332, rushing 150‑87, passing 188‑245, first downs 18‑17.

— USA TODAY Sports Data (team stats)

The game was a blowout, and Jackson’s four touchdown passes marked a triumphant return from a three‑game absence.

— NFL.com (what we learned)

For the Ravens, this win breathed life into a season that started 2‑5; at 3‑5 they remain in the AFC playoff conversation. For the Dolphins, falling to 2‑7 makes their path to contention nearly impossible without drastic changes to both personnel and scheme. Miami must decide: rebuild the offensive line and find consistency at quarterback, or watch their season slip away entirely.
