Story summary

In Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season, the New Orleans Saints rallied from a 17-9 deficit to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 24-17 in Baltimore's home opener. The game-winning play came with 1:28 remaining when Tyler Shough, a former Louisville quarterback, scored on a fourth-down sneak despite controversial replays suggesting he might not have crossed the goal line fully. New Orleans' defense then clinched the victory by intercepting a deep pass intended for Baltimore's star player Lamar Jackson with 13 seconds left. This marked the Ravens' third straight loss when leading after three quarters since 2021, echoing past failures that contributed to former coach John Harbaugh’s firing post-2025 season. Coach Jesse Minter, in his second game with Baltimore, acknowledged the need for his team to maintain its identity and avoid panic in critical moments.

🔮 Jesse Minter, in his first season as Baltimore’s coach, said Monday he didn’t think the injury would be “crazy long term” — but it’s hard to know what, if anything, to read into that.
🔮 The vibes have been better to start this season, but if Jackson is out for a significant amount of time that could change.
🔮 The same could happen this year in London, but Daniels has been able to practice after missing last weekend’s win over Seattle because of a dislocated elbow.
🔮 When the Ravens host Tennessee on Sunday, Henry will be on the opposite sideline, having left the Titans via free agency in 2024.
🔮 That timetable might be tricky for Washington management, because if Davis doesn’t want to stay with the team it could make sense to trade him for significant assets.
🔮 It’s certainly possible for Washington to stay afloat until Daniels returns, and Quinn said Monday the star quarterback will practice in some fashion this week.
🔮 You could see it in how the Baltimore Ravens reacted, pouring onto the field and following Loop toward one of the corners, where he performed a Cristiano Ronaldo-style celebration in soccer-crazy Brazil.
🔮 The Commanders will start Marcus Mariota this week.
🔮 With just a few days left in the regular season, the AL West might make a particularly mediocre kind of history.
🔮 In fact, Alonso might be the one who ends up leading the AL in homers and RBIs.
