Game Summary

First Quarter

The Washington Football team opened the game on offense, starting with a 9 play drive that only netted 17 yards. The reason for that was a 3rd down sack where the rusher went unblocked and sacked Dwayne Haskins for a 9 yard loss. The Ravens then had an 8 play, 32 yard drive which was stopped after the WFT defense held on a 3 and 12, allowing only 5 yards on a Lamar Jackson draw. On the next series, J.D. McKissic fumbled, giving the Ravens a short field, which Baltimore converted into a touchdown. The key play was a 33 yard pass from Jackson to Marquise “Hollywood” Brown. WFT responded with a 3 and out series that resulting in a Tress Way 51 yard punt.

Score: Ravens 7, WFT 0

Second Quarter

The WFT defense opened the second quarter with a 3 and out stop of the Ravens. WFT then had a 9 play, 46 yard drive that ended in a missed Dustin Hopkins 54 yard field goal attempt which clanged off the left upright. Antonio Gibson had a nice 18 yard screen pass and a 7 yard run on that series. Lamar Jackson then had a 50 yard touchdown run on third and four after holding the Ravens to short gains on both first and second down. Landon Collins, the only player with a chance to stop Jackson, missed the tackle. WFT then had its best offense series of the game so far. They went 75 yards in 10 plays for with Gibson scoring on a 2 yard touchdown run. Gibson accounted for 52 yards of the 75 yards on that drive, including a 40 yard screen play reception. Other key plays were completions to Terry McLaurin for 11 yards and Dontrelle Inman for 13 yards. On the next series, the WFT defense thought they  stopped the Ravens on 4th and 9, but the Ravens executed a fake, in which the punter, Sam Koch, completed a pass to Miles Boykin for 15 yards, converting for a first down. That led to an 8 play, 75 yard drive that culminated in a 25 yard touchdown pass to TE Mark Andrews. On the next series, Haskins was sacked for a 13 yard loss which put the WFT in a 3 and 20 situation. WFT ran for 5 yards on third down, then punted. The Ravens tried to move into field goal range, but Jackson was intercepted by Kendall Fuller at the Ravens 38 yard line. WFT converted that turnover into a 43 yard field goal by Hopkins. The key play on that drive was a 12-yard pass to McKissic.
