Baltimore Ravens 56-19 blowout Miami Dolphins Scorigami history

The Baltimore Ravens dominate the Miami Dolphins, securing the AFC North division, No. 1 seed, and historic scoring record. Lamar Jackson shines.

The Baltimore Ravens achieved a multitude of significant milestones in their 56-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Not only did they secure the AFC North division title for the first time since 2019, but they also clinched the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. In addition, they set a new record for the most points scored in the history of M&T Bank Stadium.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that this game marked the 1,084th different scoring combination in NFL history. The catalyst for the Ravens' success was the exceptional performance of two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Lamar Jackson, who solidified his case for a second MVP honor. He completed 18 of 21 passes for 321 yards, five touchdowns, and no turnovers, earning a perfect passer rating of 158.3.

The Ravens' backup quarterback, Tyler Huntley, backup tight end Charlie Kolar, and Hall of Fame kicker Justin Tucker also played crucial roles in achieving this historic scoring combination. Huntley's lone pass attempt resulted in a 19-yard touchdown reception by Kolar, marking the first touchdown of his career, which was followed by an extra point by Tucker.

On the defensive end, fourth-year safety Geno Stone made a significant contribution with a clutch pass breakup on the Dolphins' two-point conversion attempt early in the fourth quarter. His play prevented Miami tight end Julian Hill from making a crucial catch in the back of the end zone, ensuring that the Dolphins couldn't reduce the Ravens' lead to just 14 points.

Overall, the Ravens' victory was a testament to their exceptional performance on both sides of the ball, as they achieved multiple milestones and demonstrated their dominance in all facets of the game.
