The Ravens trailed by eight with two timeouts when they got the ball back with 2:25 on the clock in regulation.
It took them 1:51 to score a touchdown and a two-point conversion to tie the game.
Then they scored again with a Tyler Huntley 1-yard run in overtime, and Kyle Hamilton grabbed an interception to seal a 30-23 victory.
With Lamar Jackson out due to an ankle injury, the Ravens were nonetheless efficient on offense, with Tyler Huntley completing 24 of 32 passes for 201 yards with two touchdowns. He also had six carries for 20 yards with the winning touchdown in overtime.
Derrick Henry ran for 102 yards and caught an 18-yard touchdown to help pace the offense. Justice Hill also totaled 73 yards rushing, including a 47-yard run that set up a score.
The Falcons led for much of the game and even had a chance to win at the end of regulation with 40 seconds on the clock and two timeouts. But starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. took a big hit to his side when he was sacked with 27 seconds left in regulation and ended up suffering a rib injury.
Tua Tagovailoa played a snap in the fourth quarter after Penix was injured. As Penix tried to come back, he was clearly holding his side and appeared to be in pain.
After Huntley scored in overtime, Tagovailoa returned to play Atlanta’s final drive. It actually started off well with a 20-yard completion by Drake London, who finished the game with seven catches for 118 yards.
But then it all came crashing down, when Tagovailoa’s pass on the next snap went straight to Baltimore’s Kyle Hamilton for a game-ending interception.
Penix was announced as questionable to return due to a rib injury. But with less than three minutes left in overtime, he was all but eliminated.
Penix finished 19 of 32 for 240 with a touchdown.
Bijan Robinson had 17 carries for 86 yards and caught four passes for 32 yards.
Now at 4-1, the Ravens will be on the road again in Week 6 to face division rival Cleveland.
The 2-3 Falcons will stay home to face the Bears in Week 6. But they may have to play a backup at quarterback.
