Jackson, who is having an MVP-level season, threw three touchdowns and completed 12 of 14 passes for 255 yards in the first half. Wide receiver Zay Flowers also stepped up, making a huge play with a 75-yard touchdown catch that extended the Ravens' lead.

The third quarter saw both teams trading turnovers on back-to-back plays. Gus Edwards fumbled for the Ravens, but their defense quickly redeemed itself as Geno Stone intercepted Tua Tagovailoa. However, the Ravens did face some challenges as a few defensive players were questionable to return. Marlon Humphrey, one of their star cornerbacks, was ruled out due to a calf injury. Despite these setbacks, Baltimore's defense held strong, and Justin Madibuike continued his breakout season with his 13th sack.

As the game entered the fourth quarter, Lamar Jackson's stellar performance continued, and he threw his fifth touchdown pass of the day to fullback Pat Ricard. Receiver Rashod Bateman also had a strong game, making two consecutive first-down catches. The Dolphins managed to find the end zone early in the fourth quarter, but with a score of 35-19 in favor of the Ravens, the Dolphins' chances of a comeback seemed slim.

With the clock winding down, the Ravens are in a commanding position to secure the top seed in the AFC. Their exceptional offensive performance, combined with a resilient defense, has given them a substantial lead over the Dolphins. As the game unfolds, Baltimore fans maintain a high confidence level in closing out the victory.
