The Baltimore Ravens brushed off a third-quarter rally by the Tennessee Titans to win 24-16 in the last of this year's three NFL games in London.

Four Justin Tucker field goals and a Zay Flowers touchdown gave the Ravens a 18-3 lead after a dominant first half in front of 61,011 at Tottenham.

Some poor discipline from Baltimore allowed Tennessee to get back in the game in the third quarter, through a Nick Folk field goal and a touchdown from the NFL's two-time rushing leader Derrick Henry.

But two more field goals in the fourth quarter by Tucker, the NFL's most consistent kicker, ensured the Ravens improved to a 4-2 record.

As it happened - Ravens beat Titans

Baltimore suffered an agonising late defeat at their divisional rivals Pittsburgh Steelers last week, but regrouped to secure a victory that was functional, if not flashy.

Baltimore's UK fans would have hoped to see more big plays from quarterback Lamar Jackson, the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 2019, and star receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

But they will need to grind out more wins like this if they are to finally mount a Super Bowl run having won only one play-off game in their last four postseason appearances.
