Recap: Tucker’s 66-yarder helps Ravens walk-off Lions, 19-17

They almost did it.

The Lions had Lamar Jackson dead to rights with a fourth-and-19, deep in his own territory with just over 30 seconds left and no timeouts.

Then, Justin Tucker showed up. The Ravens completed a deep pass to get the ball near midfield with 3 seconds left, and Tucker put it home from 66 yards as time expired to give the Ravens a 19-17 win at Ford Field.

The Ravens take over at the 25, trailing by 1, with 1:04 left. They have no timeouts.

Charles Harris sacks Lamar Jackson on first down, force a throw into coverage that falls incomplete on second down. This place is going nuts. Third-and-10: Jackson is chased out of bounds for a loss of 9 by Romeo Okwara, it’s fourth-and-19.

Timeout #3 Detroit (0:26 4th)

The pass to Sammy Watkins is complete for a gain of 36, which’ll put the Ravens at midfield. They run up and spike it with 7 seconds left. Wowza.

It’s first-and-10 at the 35.

Swift loses a yard on first down. Raymond catches a screen on second down and absolutely rips up the field, cutting through holes and tacklers to reach the Baltimore 15 for a gain of 22. That’ll be the two-minute warning.

Injury update: Lions center Frank Ragnow is back in the game.

Goff trips during the second-down handoff but still manages to give to Williams; it’ll be a gain of 1. Williams is taken down for a loss of 2 on third down. The Lions will let this thing roll down and try a field goal.

END 3RD: Ravens 16, Lions 7

Jamaal Williams finds a huge hole on the next first-down play, and he takes it all the way to the 24, a gain of 11.

Timeout #1 Detroit (11:10 4th)

Swift catches a pass in the flat from Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Quintez Cephus lead the way blocking, and the Lions have another first-and-10, this time at the 11 after a gain of 9 by the Lions back.

Swift carries again on the next play, going up the middle for 4. This man is a human highlight reel: He catches a second-down pass, scampers up the sideline, and tries to hurdle a defender while placing the ball over the goal line. He comes up just short, but the Lions have it first-and-goal on the 1-inch line.

Swift is stuffed for no gain on first down, and so is Williams on second down. Williams appeared to cross the line, the fans went crazy, but he was ruled short of the goal line.

Dan Campbell is now challenging that he got in. The play is under review.

Injury alert: Lions center Frank Ragnow was hurt on the play. He was helped off after laying at the bottom of the pile.

Ravens 13, Lions 7 (5:21 3rd)

Ravens take 13-0 lead on Lions to open third

The Ravens open the third quarter from the 25.

This will be a big drive for the Lions. They need a stop here to prevent things from getting out of hand before they even begin.

And they don’t do a very good job of doing that.

Lamar Jackson hits Sammy Watkins for a gain of 9, and two plays later, goes to Mark Andrews for a gain of 41 to the Detroit 32. The Ravens are already in business.

Jackson misses to Watkins on first down, and Ty’Son Williams is dropped by Romeo Okwara for no gain on second down. He goes to the end zone on third down, but misses Andrews.

Calvin Johnson Hall of Fame ceremony

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is at Ford Field to honor Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. The fans are surely happy to see the man they call Megatron, but not the family that has caused the Lions legend to disassociate from the franchise.

When Sheila Ford takes the podium to speak, Lions fans rain down boos mercilessly. That oughtta set the stage for an exciting second half.

Lions come up short, enter halftime scoreless

The Lions will take over at their own 25 with just over 3 minutes to go in the half. They trail, 10-0.

Jared Goff’s first-down pass is complete to Quintez Cephus for a gain of 8. After no gain on second down, the Lions only get a yard on third down, a completion to Kalif Raymond.

Two-minute warning

Detroit is charged with a timeout for challenging that Raymond made the line-to-gain on third down, as Raymond is ruled short twice.

The Lions line up to go for it on fourth-and-1, but Penei Sewell is flagged for a false start.

Jack Fox’s punt is fielded with a fair catch at the Baltimore 24.

Ravens 10, Lions 0 (1:55 2nd)

Lamar Jackson’s first-down pass is good, but dropped. He finds James Proche on the next pass for a gain of 29 yards to the Detroit 47.

Jackson throws it away on the next play, then throws complete to Duvernay for a gain of 3. He has a wide-open Brown streaking toward the end zone on third down, but the pass is just…dropped, inexplicably. Should have been a touchdown, but will instead be the Lions’ gain.

Kalif Raymond calls for a fair catch at the 9, where the Lions take over.

Ravens 10, Lions 0 (0:33 2nd)

The Lions move the ball downfield with completions of 10 and 15 yards to Jamaal Williams, but can’t get anything going after that.

The Ravens take over at their own 35 after the punt. They lead 3-0 with 6:54 to go in the first half.

Jackson finds Marquise Brown on the next play for a big gain of 37 yards to the Detroit 11.

Jackson keeps on the next play and gets into the end zone, but there’s a penalty on the Ravens for holding. It’ll instead be first-and-20 at the 21.

Austin Bryant makes a terrific play to wrap up Jackson as he tries to escape from the pocket on the next play and brings him down for a gain of only 2. With all of Ford Field on their feet, Jackson finds a wide-open Devin Duvernay in the end zone for a Ravens touchdown.

Ravens 10, Lions 0 (3:15 2nd)

Lions have fumble recovery overturned via penalty

The Lions take over at their own 25 after the field goal by Baltimore.

T.J. Hockenson hauls in a 5-yard completion on first down and D’Andre Swift bursts through a hole to pick up a big chunk on the next play, a 14-yard run to the 44.

Jared Goff goes to Swift on a wheel route, and that draws a holding penalty on the Ravens. It’s first-and-10 at the Detroit 49.

Goff tries a deep shot of his own to Kalif Raymond down the sideline, but he’s defended tightly — maybe a little too tightly, if you’d ask some Lions fans at Ford Field — and the pass falls incomplete. Swift’s next carry goes for 4 yards. Absolutely nobody sees Ravens slot corner Tavon Young coming off the corner and he sacks Goff for a loss of 13.

The Lions are handed a penalty for a player running out of bounds after recovering a fumble on the punt return, which really disappoints the home crowd. Jack Fox’s next punt is returned to the 35.

Ravens 3, Lions 0 (6:54 2nd)

Ravens take first lead of game with Tucker field goal

Baltimore takes over at the 46 after the punt by Jack Fox.

The Ravens take a shot on the opening play, and Bobby Price continues to make plays at corner: He breaks up the pass before it can get to Sammy Watkins, and that’ll bring up second-and-10. Jackson finds Mark Andrews for a pickup of 23 yards to the 25.

Tracy Walker just misses a tight throw to Marquise Brown in the end zone that’s dropped after Derrick Barnes helps Tracy Walker take down Jackson for no gain. It’s third-and-10: Jackson tucks, and A.J. Parker tracks him down to trip him up for a gain of only 4.

It’ll be second-and-14 from the 4. Swift makes it third-and-8 with a 6-yard run. Goff tries to pick up the first down with his feet, is tripped up short of the line, and Jonah Jackson is flagged for a personal foul.

Jack Fox’s punt is returned to the Baltimore 49 and helped along by a 5-yard penalty on the Lions that’ll be added to the end of the run.

Lions 0, Ravens 0 (12:26 2nd)

Lamar Jackson’s first-down pass to Mark Andrews misses the mark, but his second-down run is good for 31 yards and a Ravens first down at the 41 of Baltimore.

Latavius Murray rushes for 5 yards on first down. The Lions do a good job of breaking down the pocket and forcing Jackson to run on second down, and in the meantime, the Ravens take a holding penalty. It’ll be second-and-15. Jackson fires a quick strike Josh Oliver for a gain of 6, bringing up third-and-9 as the first quarter comes to a close.

Jamaal Williams gets it on first down and sheds a tackler on his way to a 14-yard gain that’ll give the Lions first-and-10 at the Baltimore 47.

He gets it again on the next play, going down after a gain of only 2. Jared Goff hits Kalif Raymond on second down for a gain of 3, bringing up third-and-5, where the Lions come up throwing again: This time Goff’s throw is to Swift for a gain of 4 to bring up fourth-and-1 at the 38.

The Lions line up to go for it, but Darren Fells is flagged for a false start. It’s fourth-and-6, and the Lions are still lining up to go for it.

This time, though, they just try to get the Ravens to jump offsides, and opt to punt after a delay of game.

Jack Fox’s punt is fielded with a fair catch at the 10.

Lions 0, Ravens 0 (2:28 1st)

Justin Tucker misses field goal after Lions get third-down stop

Ty’Son Williams is wrapped up for a gain of 2 on first down, and Devonta Freeman goes for 5 on the next play. They give it to Latavius Murray on third down, but that doesn’t fool the Lions: A.J. Parker comes in and crushes him for no gain.

The Lions take over at the 48 after Kalif Raymond’s return.

Jamaal Williams crosses into Ravens territory with a 4-yard run on first down.

The Lions try a trick play, and it’s nearly a disaster. The pitch goes to D’Andre Swift, he tries to throw it back to Goff, and the ball is knocked out of the air by a Ravens linebacker. It’s initially ruled a fumble, but they’re going to review it. Swift might have been throwing forward.

And after review, the ball stays with Detroit. It’s third-and-6 at the 48. Goff is sacked for a loss of 12.

Lions 0, Ravens 0 (9: 1st)
