BALTIMORE, Md. — Baltimore's Lamar Jackson led the Ravens to 16 fourth-quarter points and then a touchdown in overtime for a 31-25 victory over former NDSU quarterback Carson Wentz' Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts, who led 25-9 entering the fourth quarter, still could have won the game, the Ravens' rally aside. Wentz drove the Colts into field goal range twice in the quarter but Indy kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, who missed a PAT kick earlier in the game, had a 37-yard field goal blocked and then missed a 47-yard field goal attempt wide right with four seconds left.

After Baltimore tied the game 25-25 with 39 seconds left, Wentz drove Indy from its 25 yard line to the Ravens' 29 before Blankenship's miss.

The Colts didn't get another chance. The Ravens received the kickoff in OT and Jackson drove them 68 yards in 10 plays, hitting Marquise Brown on a five-yard scoring pass to end it.

Wentz hit 25 of 35 throws for 402 yards and two touchdowns. The Colts fell to 1-4 while the Ravens improved to 4-1.
