The Baltimore Ravens have been starting fast all season. They also closed strong Sunday in London

Lamar Jackson and Baltimore Ravens closed out this game just fine.

re was a brief stretch in third quarter when ar le started slipping away, but Jackson steied his team quickly and Ravens went on to a 24-16 victory over Tennessee Titans on Sunday in London.

“ margin is very thin in this league. It’s razor thin,” Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said Monday after returning to U.S. “Everybody is right around .500 or just above .500 or just below .500 — in terms of talent and ability and coaching and all that or kind of stuff — so difference is week to week.

“It’s your ability to persist, overcome, come up with a good game plan, execute game plan, and n really make plays.”

Baltimore (4-2) les AFC rth, although Ravens feel ir start could have even better. Mistakes and late-game mismanment led to losses to Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, latter of which came a week before matchup with Titans.

So when Baltimore allowed an 18-3 halftime le to turn into an 18-13 vant in third quarter against Tennessee, pressure was on. A three-and-out on Ravens’ next possession didn’t help matters.

But Ge Stone intercepted a pass, and Jackson led Baltimore to two field goals on drives that took a total of 24 plays.

Perhaps fittingly for a game at Tottenham Hotspur Stium, kickers did most of scoring. Justin Tucker h six field goals for Baltimore.

Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton received American football version of a red card when he was ejected for a third-quarter hit on receiver Chris Moore.

“It was definitely a flag-able penalty,” Harbaugh said. “It was helmet to helmet. one thing I do kw is that Kyle certainly didn’t intend to do that. He was coming over trying to play ball, and ir helmets hit, and it was forceable. So it should have been flagged. Beyond that, it’s really a judgement call.”

Jackson h a sharp day passing aside from one interception in third quarter, and he also led team with 62 yards rushing, some of m in big situations. Ravens went 8 of 16 on third down while Tennessee was 1 of 9. A few of those conversions came courtesy of Jackson’s legs.

WHAT’S WORKING
Baltimore’s defense continues to excel in a number of ways. only touchdown Ravens allowed came on a 25-yard drive after interception. Baltimore finished with six sacks and held Tennessee to 233 yards of offense.

one obvious issue was penalties, which accounted for eight of Titans’ 17 first downs.

WHAT NEEDS HELP
red zone was a problem for a second straight week. Five of Tucker’s field goals were 36 yards or shorter.

STOCK UP
After a drop-filled mess of a performance against Pittsburgh, Baltimore’s receivers were solid against Titans. Zay Flowers caught a 10-yard pass from Jackson for lone Ravens TD and aside from one interception by Jackson, offense played a clean game.

STOCK DOWN
Gus Edwards mand just 41 yards on 16 carries. Baltimore’s difficulty running ball with its n-quarterbacks contributed to its problems in punching ball into end zone.

“We were running into some big fronts re,” Harbaugh said. “We tried to spre m out. y didn’t cooperate quite as much in terms of spreing out.”

INJURIES
Ravens withstood Hamilton’s ejection and a hamstring injury to fellow safety Marcus Williams. Harbaugh said Williams is “iffy” for this week. ... Linebacker Malik Harrison went into concussion protocol. ... Harbaugh didn’t sound terribly optimistic about possible return of veteran linebacker Tyus Bowser (knee), who hasn’t played at all this season. “I’m going to let Tyus comment on that. That’s gotten a little more complicated over last couple of weeks,” he said. “I’m really t at liberty to talk about it right w, but at some point in time, I’m sure we’ll have an anuncement on that one way or ar. He has to make some choices and decisions.”

KEY NUMBERS
70-46 — That was Baltimore’s vant in total offensive plays. Ravens started fast, as y’ve done all season, and maintained control of game aside from that brief stretch in second half when Tennessee scored a field goal and touchdown a minute apart.

UP NEXT
Ravens host Detroit Lions (5-1) this coming weekend. Baltimore won’t get to enjoy an open date after its trip across ocean. Ravens have Week 13 off inste.

“We didn’t really want to have a bye too early,” Harbaugh said. “y gave us late bye and an early game in London. So that’s just way it worked. We like later bye.”
