SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 5, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Tyler Huntley made the most of his limited action for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, tossing his first touchdown of the season while also helping a teammate celebrate a birthday.

The former University of Utah quarterback stepped in for starter Lamar Jackson in the fourth quarter of the Ravens’ 37-3 rout of the Seattle Seahawks and threw a late touchdown to receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on his 31st birthday.

The 6-yard TD toss was Huntley’s first of the season and the first for Beckham with Baltimore.

“I couldn’t ask for a better present,” Beckham said after the game.

Jackson threw for 187 yards and ran for another 60 before sitting out the fourth quarter and turning the offense over to Huntley.

The former Utes QB completed 5 of 7 passes for 38 yards and gained 8 yards on four carries as Baltimore improved to 7-2.
