The Ravens rolled the dice, with John Harbaugh getting aggressive in a game against his brother.

The Ravens went for it on fourth-and-1 at their own 16 with two minutes left in the first half. They got it with tight end Mark Andrews taking a direct snap for 2 yards.

Five plays later, the Ravens had the lead.

Baltimore scored back-to-back touchdowns and took a 14-13 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The Ravens got off to a slow start on offense before Derrick Henry got them going with 44 yards on three carries on a seven-play, 70-yard drive. Lamar Jackson scored on a 10-yard run to cut the Chargers’ lead to 10-7.

The Ravens then went 93 yards in just eight plays, with the fourth-down play keeping the drive alive. Rashod Bateman scored on a 40-yard reception from Jackson, who threw a touchdown for the 19th straight game. It came with just 24 seconds left in the half.
