Lamar winless no more, leads Ravens to 20-13 win over Titans

2000 season.
The 2019 NFL MVP helped
Baltimore pile up 134 yards
as he set up a 33-yard field
goal by Justin Tucker with
a 28-yard pass to Marquise
Brown. Jackson then tied it
by breaking loose for a 48-
yard TD run, diving for the
pylon —the second-longest
TD run by a quarterback in
the Super Bowl era behind
Kaepernick's 56-yarder for
the 49ers against the Pack-
ers on Jan. 12, 2013.
Rookie J.K. Dobbins made
it 17-10 with a 4-yard TD run
to open the third quarter.
That gave him a rushing TD
in seven straight games,
second only to Maurice
Jones-Drew 's eight in 2006
since the 1970 merger.
The Titans finally stopped
the Ravens' scoring spree
at 17 when Gostkowski
kicked a 25-yard field goal
to start the fourth quarter,
pulling within 17-13.
