Of all the times Lamar Jackson has rescued the Baltimore Ravens in his young career, last season’s game at Cleveland stands out.

The star quarterback left the game with cramps, then returned for a fourth-down play and threw a long touchdown pass to Marquise Brown, part of a back-and-forth final quarter in which the Ravens ultimately won on Justin Tucker’s 55-yard kick with 2 seconds left.

The Monday night clash was one of the most memorable games of the 2020 NFL season.

“My whole body cramped. Scoring back and forth — both teams,” Jackson said Wednesday. “That’s what I remember the most, just going back and forth, just started scoring touchdowns. They scoring, we scoring, a lot of ping pong.”

The Ravens host the Browns this Sunday night in the first meeting between the teams since that December night. Like last season, the stakes are high. Baltimore leads the AFC North and Cleveland is in last place, but just 1 1/2 games separate the teams.

When they met in December, the Ravens were finally starting to return to form after a COVID-19 outbreak. They were outscored 22-13 in the fourth quarter but still won 47-42. Jackson came back in the game with Baltimore down by one, after backup Trace McSorley was injured on a third-down play. Jackson immediately threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Brown, but then Baker Mayfield led Cleveland on a touchdown drive that tied it at 42.

Tucker’s field goal broke the tie, and then there was one more bizarre twist. The Browns tried to lateral their way to an improbable winning touchdown, but instead they went backward into their own end zone. The safety made Baltimore’s winning margin five points — the opening line had the Ravens favored by three.

Baltimore (7-3) has had several more escapes this season, including last weekend when Jackson was too ill to play. Backup Tyler Huntley led the Ravens to the winning touchdown in the final minute against Chicago.

Jackson is expected to return this weekend. His absence was just the latest near-crisis for Baltimore, which lost its top two running backs before the season even started. Brown also missed last weekend’s game with a thigh problem.

“If you look back at what their potential starting roster and depth chart, and what it is now, to be where they are is extremely impressive,” Mayfield said. “A lot of their games so far this year, they have come from behind. They are a very resilient team. That is just how they are led and coached.”
