Lamar Jackson played the hero for the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night against the Cleveland Browns and didn’t even need a cape or a mask.
Jackson exited the game about halfway through the fourth quarter as he reportedly battled cramps. After Trace McSorley went down with an apparent knee injury, Jackson came in on a 4th down play and threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown for the go-ahead score.
Baker Mayfield would strike back.

Mayfield led a quick drive down the field that ended with a Kareem Hunt 22-yard touchdown pass to tie the game with 1:04 remaining in the game.
It proved to be too much time for the Ravens.
Jackson needed only 57 seconds to set up the game-winning field goal for Justin Tucker. The kicker would nail the 55-yarder to give the Ravens the victory. The Browns would try some lateral plays at the end of the game and get tackled in the back of the end zone.
