NFL scores, live updates: Eagles battle Ravens in clash of MVP favorites in Baltimore

Must read

Last week, a couple of East Coast Super Bowl hopefuls went to Tinseltown to collect wins heading into a massive Week 13 showdown. Saquon Barkley turned in an all-timer of a rushing performance in the Eagles’ 37-20 win over the Rams last Sunday night, while Lamar Jackson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in the Ravens’ 30-23 win over the Chargers in the “HarBowl” on Monday night.

Now, these two high-flying offenses will face off in Baltimore in front of a national audience on CBS, in what could wind up being a Super Bowl teaser and go a long way toward deciding the 2024 NFL MVP. Barkley put himself firmly in the conversation with his 255-yard outing last week, which put him on a current pace to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season NFL rushing record. Jackson, the 2023 MVP, is on pace to pass for more than 4,300 yards, rush for nearly 900 yards and throw 38 touchdown passes — all of which would easily eclipse his totals from last year.

Get your popcorn ready.

Live36 updates

  • Tucker misses AGAIN

    This time from 53-yards, and an abysmal day continues for a man who spent years as the No. 1 most accurate kicker in NFL history. The Ravens would be up 19-14, if not for his three misses today, and they’re in an unfamiliar place, with questions at the kicker position.

  • Ravens getting back on the move

    Derrick Henry has been the second half focal point, as the Ravens are back in Eagles territory late in the 3rd quarter. They’ll have to be thinking touchdown with Justin Tucker being shaky today.

  • Zach with the Sack and Baun forces 4th down and another Justin Tucker field goal try

    Tucker MISSES from 47, and the Eagles hold on to the lead after the sack. Tucker has now missed a PAT and field goal in this game, and the once-automatic Tucker’s struggles continue to hurt the Ravens in big spots.

  • Mark Andrews climbing the ladder for the 23-yard gainer

  • Lamar Jackson opens the second half with a first down scramble for 12

    Derrick Henry followed that up with an eight yard run and the Ravens are getting some rhythm going with a couple of first downs on the ground to start the third quarter.

  • Halftime: Eagles 14, Ravens 12

    The first half was a bit uneven for both teams, with them not trading scores, but trading big momentum swings. The Ravens looked great on both sides of the ball over their first couple of series, and the script was completely flipped with the Eagles controlling much of the second quarter. Baltimore won the toss and deferred to open the game, so they’ll have a chance to double-up after that field goal when the second half opens up.

  • Justin Tucker connects from 50 yards

    And the Ravens now trail 14-12 with three seconds left in the first half.

  • Snow flurries have started in Baltimore

    Its not expected to last much longer than the third quarter, so no snow globe situation to break out.

  • Jalen Hurts punches it in from the 1-yard-line

    Tush Push, as usual, and Jalen Hurts is all alone in second in the NFL with 12 rushing touchdowns on the season. The Eagles offense has come alive and they’re ahead 14-9 at the two-minute warning.

  • AJ Brown is doing his THING in the first half

    Jalen Hurts is finding his top target in single coverage with Baltimore loading the box to slow down the ground game. Brown has five catches for 67 yards already.

  • Philly forces a punt, grabs some momentum.

    The Eagles are starting to get into a good lather on both sides of the ball, and downing that punt at the 1-yard-line seemed to get both the offense and defense going. On this drive Zach Baun slashed through the line to stop Derick Henry on a 3rd down run, and the Eagles are back on the move.

  • Dallas Goedert finds the end zone

    Jake Elliott makes the PAT after the Jalen Hurts touchdown pass, and the Eagles are on the board with 49-yard touchdown drive. Saquon Barkley and Hurts both had big runs on the drive where Philadelphia looked like they had found a play calling and execution rhythm for the first time in the game.

  • Eagles force 3-and-out

    Now with the field flipped, Philly will take over at the Ravens’ 49-yard-line, for their first snap in plus-territory.

  • Mike Evans keeping the chains moving for the Bucs

    He’s already got a touchdown vs. Carolina today, and he’s moving the Buccaneers down the field again. Certainly a good start to the day if he’s on your Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football roster. (He is on mine!)

  • Ravens get 3rd and 1 stop

    Saquon Barkley couldn’t pick it up on the ground, but Braden Mann came up with the best play on an Eagles’ snap on the game — a punt that rolled dead and was downed at the 1-yard-line, and now the Ravens will take over in the shadow of their own goal pos

  • Eagles finally get a stop

    After what felt like big play after big play, the Ravens got behind the sticks after a fumble and will have to punt on the first play of the second quarter, facing a 4th-and-long deep in their own end. The Eagles had just one first down in the opening quarter — it came on the first play of the game — and punter Braden Mann has been busy.

  • Bryce Young gives the Panthers the lead on the ground

  • Kyle Hamilton has cleared concussion protocol and is back on the field

    A huge lift for the Ravens that will no-doubt, only help as they look to protect an early lead

  • Mark Andrews in a crowd for the score

    This is great coverage, but even better protection. Lamar Jackson is going to throw darts all afternoon with this much time, and its 9-0 Ravens in the first quarter, after a missed PAT.

  • Derrick Henry with a chunk run and the Ravens are back in the red zone
