Baltimore builds its lead before halftime
The Baltimore Ravens scored 17 unanswered points in the second quarter and held off the Tennessee Titans for a 24-18 Week 4 victory at M&T Bank Stadium. With the score tied 7-7 after the opening quarter, Baltimore took control before halftime, building a 24-7 advantage. That cushion proved enough despite a scoreless second half for the Ravens.

Tennessee fell to 0-4, with its past three defeats coming by six points or fewer.

Rashod Bateman turned his two targets into two catches for 46 yards. Derrick Henry handled 23 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown, along with two receptions for six yards. His rushing workload helped complement an efficient passing performance from Jackson.

Ward finished 20-of-31 for 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also ran four times for 27 yards. Tony Pollard carried 16 times for 48 yards and a touchdown, adding two catches for two yards. Wan’Dale Robinson caught three passes for 19 yards and Tennessee’s receiving touchdown.
