In a critical moment with 3:10 left in the half, Jason Sanders kicked a 38-yard field goal for the Miami Dolphins, narrowing the gap to 14-13 against the Baltimore Ravens. However, the Ravens responded emphatically when, on fourth-and-7, Lamar Jackson found Isaiah Likely for a 40-yard touchdown pass, with Likely securing the ball with a one-handed catch. This play, which capitalized on Roquan Smith's interception, boosted the Ravens' lead to 28-13 with 1:24 remaining in the second quarter. Jackson's stellar performance, which included 12 completions on 14 attempts for 255 yards and three touchdowns, plus 26 rushing yards, bolstered claims of him being the MVP. Despite the Dolphins' earlier success on a fourth-down attempt, they found themselves trailing significantly.
Touchdown Ravens. Jackson found a wide-open Likely leaking out after the play fake. Dolphins trail 35-13.
Ravens resist the fear of handing the Dolphins a short field, go for it on fourth-and-7, and get rewarded when Lamar hits Isaiah Likely for a 35-yard TD. https://t.co/V104ZzEtMG

A one-handed TD grab on 4th-and-7… are you KIDDING ME, Isaiah Likely?! 🤯 (via @Ravens) https://t.co/MDbzpMk759
That was a 4th-and-7 from Dolphins 35. Instead of kicking a FG, Likely makes a one-handed snag of a Jackson pass and scores a TD. It's 28-13 Ravens at the 1:24 mark of the second quarter. Jackson is 12-of-14 for 255 yards and 3 TDs. Also has 26 yards rushing.

Lamar finds Isaiah Likely on fourth-and-7, and the Ravens cash in Roquan Smith's pick to take a 28-13 lead on the Dolphins.
Wow. On 4th and 7, the Ravens go for it. Just as we are all wondering why, Lamar hits Likely, who makes a 1 handed catch and then takes it rest of the way for a TD.

Why were the Ravens going for it on 4th-and-7? Well, because Lamar Jackson completed a 35-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely, who made a phenomenal one-handed grab. Ravens 28, Dolphins 13 with 1:24 left in 2Q.
Wow. Ravens go for it on fourth-and-7. Lamar finds Likely, who makes a one-handed grab on a crosser and scores from 35 yards out. Dolphins trail 28-13. 1:24 left in the half.
Oh my gosh 4th and 7 one handed catch by Likely and he scores Holy hell Baltimore looks incredible vs this Miami D
Jason Sanders makes the 38-yard FG and the Dolphins trail 14-13 w/ 3:10 left in the half. Baltimore gets the second-half kickoff so a Miami stop here would be big.
