- The Ravens beat the Dallas Cowboys, 34-31, on Tyler Loop’s 56-yard field goal as time expired, but the final sequence was built long before Loop ever stepped onto the field.
- Doyle’s call produced a 27-yard gain for Flowers with 7 seconds left, creating the opening for the game-winning kick.
- Flowers’ return mattered because it was not just a box checked on the injury report.
- He finished with 5 receptions for 86 yards in Week 3, and his presence gave Baltimore a target it had missed the week before.
- Loop’s 56-yarder was the biggest kick of his career, and it came with the added pressure of a record that had not yet been settled in the NFL’s most unforgiving moments.
- Lamar Jackson said he never doubted it.
- Flowers’ catch was the setup; Loop’s kick was the finish.
