The Baltimore Ravens extended their winning streak to five games after defeating the visiting New York Jets 23-10 on Sunday. A dominant performance from running back Derrick Henry, who scored two third-quarter touchdowns, sealed the victory for the Ravens. This win moves Baltimore within a half-game of Pittsburgh for first place in the AFC North, pending the outcome of the Steelers' game in Chicago. The Jets led 7-3 at halftime but were unable to maintain their momentum. The Ravens' offense finally found its rhythm in the second half, with Henry scoring his first touchdown on an 11-play, 74-yard drive. He then added another score on a seven-play march, securing a 17-7 lead for the Ravens. Despite a 42-yard field goal by Nick Folk pulling the Jets within 7 points in the fourth quarter, Tyler Loop's 35-yard and 27-yard field goals ensured a two-score margin for the Ravens. Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards, while Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor was 17 of 28 for 222 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Jets running back Breece Hall had a notable performance, accounting for 119 yards from scrimmage, but was limited to 44 yards on 16 rushes. Taylor started the game in place of Justin Fields, who was benched by New York coach Aaron Glenn. The Jets' offense struggled to find consistency, with Taylor's 13-yard touchdown pass to John Metchie in the second quarter being their only significant scoring drive.
