Ravens vs. Chargers score, live updates: Harbaugh brothers meet for the third time as NFL head coaches on Monday Night Football

After suffering a tough loss in Pittsburgh last week, the Baltimore Ravens head west to take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. The two clubs are solidly entrenched in the AFC playoff picture, but a win Monday will go a long way toward helping to stay there with a head-to-head tiebreaker in hand. The electric Ravens offense was slowed some last week in an 18-16 loss to the Steelers, with Derrick Henry held to just 65 yards and Lamar Jackson having his worst passing day of the season. They may be able to get back on track against a Chargers defense that allowed 452 yards to the Bengals last week — much of that as part of a second-half comeback that fell just short.

Los Angeles is looking to build off that close win, in which they blew a 21-point lead only to score a late touchdown and survive. Justin Herbert threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns last week, while rookie receiver Ladd McConkey had his second 100-yard game in the NFL and could figure to be a top target again this week. Star pass rusher Khalil Mack, who missed last week’s game with a groin injury, was listed as questionable heading into Week 12.

Also, with Jim Harbaugh back on an NFL sideline this year, he’ll meet his brother John for the first time on opposing sidelines since the Ravens beat the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.

  • It’s not over yet

    The Chargers came up with a stop and forced the Ravens to punt with 3:08 left in regulation. But they need a miracle, trailing 30-16 with one timeout remaining.

  • Pass interference flag picked up to end Chargers drive

    Officials initially flagged this play for pass interference on the Chargers’ failed third-and-18 attempt. But they picked up the flag after consultation. Was it the right no-call?

  • Wheels fall off for Chargers

    The Ravens continue to dominate the second half. A third-and-18 deep ball by Justin Herbert hits the turf, and the Chargers are forced to punt after gaining seven yards on three plays. A second-down sack short-circuited the drive.

    Baltimore’s in control with the ball and a 30-16 lead with 6:31 remaining.

  • Also, check out these Derrick Henry stiff-arms

    Derrick Henry helped set up the Hill touchdown with some classic Derrick Henry stiff-arms.

  • Ravens in control, take 30-16 lead on Justice Hill run

    The second half continues to be all Ravens. Baltimore opened the game up on a 51-yard touchdown run by Justice Hill. The Ravens ran motion that confused the Chargers defense, and Hill rumbled down the left sideline for the score.

    The career-long run by Hill extends Baltimore’s lead to 30-16 with 7:24 remaining.

  • Chargers punt after Quentin Johnston drop on 3rd down

    Chargers receiver Quentin Johnston had a third-and-6 catch in his hands and open field in front of him for a potential big gain. But he couldn’t hold on. Johnston dropped the pass from Justin Herbert, and the Chargers were forced to punt thanks to the critical miscue at a key juncture of the game.

    Baltimore takes over possession with a 23-16 lead and 10:45 remaining.

  • J.K. Dobbins is out

    Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins has now been ruled out with a knee injury. It’s Gus Edwards as the bellcow the rest of the way for Los Angeles.

  • Ravens pay off 4th-down gambles with TD

    The Ravens have now converted three fourth-down conversions into two touchdowns. Baltimore went for it twice on fourth-and-1 and converted each time on their latest drive and capped it off with a touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson to Mark Andrews in the back of the end zone.

    A two-point conversion fails, and the Ravens extend their lead to 23-16 with 12:32 remaining in regulation. John Harbaugh’s playing aggressive against his brother, and it’s paying off.

  • Ravens now 3 for 3 on 4th down

    Baltimore started the fourth quarter by going for it yet again on fourth-and-1 after converting twice in two previous tries, including earlier in the same drive. So why not go for it again?

    Derrick Henry converts again with a 2-yard run to the Chargers’ 23-yard line.

  • Another 4th-down conversion by Ravens

    The Ravens went for it again on fourth-and-1, this time from their own 39. There was no doubt about this one. Derrick Henry rumbled 27 yards to pick up the first down and then some.

  • Cameron Dicker good again from 52 yards

    The Ravens and Chargers have traded field goals to start the second half. The Chargers answered Baltimore’s opening field-goal drive with a 10-play, 36-yard drive that ended with a 52-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker, his third field goal of the night and his second from 52 yards.

    Baltimore leads, 17-16 with 4:08 remaining in the third quarter.

  • J.K. Dobbins still in locker room, questionable with knee injury

    Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins has yet to join his teammates on the sideline after halftime, according to ESPN. Dobbins is officially questionable with a knee injury. Gus Edwards would take over the lead role if Dobbins can’t return.

  • Justin Tucker is good from 45 yards

    Justin Tucker’s been uncharacteristically shaky this season with six missed field goals and one missed extra point. But he’s true from 45 yards to cap Baltimore’s first drive of the second half (10 plays, 43 yards) to extend the Ravens’ lead to 17-13.

    Lamar Jackson completed passes on third-and-9 and third-and-10 to keep the field-goal drive alive.

  • 2nd half is underway

    The Ravens start the second half with the ball and a 14-13 lead.

  • Ravens 14, Chargers 13: Key 1st-half stats

    A well-played half by both teams sends the game into halftime with the Ravens holding a 14-13 lead. Here are the key first-half stats:

    Justin Herbert: 13 of 18 for 129 yards; 3 carries for 17 yards and 1 touchdown; 0 turnovers
    Lamar Jackson: 5 of 9 for 89 yards and 1 touchdown; 3 carries for 14 yards and 1 touchdown; 0 turnovers

    J.K. Dobbins: 6 carries for 40 yards
    Derrick Henry: 9 carries for 66 yards

    Ladd McConkey: 3 catches for 41 yards
    Rashod Bateman: 1 catch for 40 yards and 1 touchdown

    Chargers total yards: 202 on 5.9 yards per play
    Ravens total yards: 176 on 7.7 yards per play

    Chargers first downs: 11
    Ravens first downs: 10

    Total combined turnovers: 0

  • Chargers answer with FG before halftime

    John Harbaugh’s gamble did not go unanswered. The Chargers responded to Baltimore’s stunning touchdown drive with a four-play 22-yard drive in the final 24 seconds of the first half. Cameron Dicker pays it off with a 52-yard field goal to cut Baltimore’s lead to 14-13 at halftime.

    So far, the HarBowl is living up to its billing. Gutsy, aggressive play and strong execution from both teams.

  • Ravens gamble pays off in lead before halftime

    A big gamble pays off in a big way for the Ravens. Instead of punting, Baltimore went for it and got it on fourth-and-1 from its own 16-yard line after the first-half 2-minute warning. Five plays later, Lamar Jackson hit Rashod Bateman in a tight window for a 40-yard touchdown to take a 14-10 lead for Baltimore.

    John Harbaugh’s gamble pays off big time against his little brother.

  • Ravens go for it inside their own 20

    The Ravens threw a big roll of the dice and picked up a first down on fourth-and-1 from their own 16 at the 2-minute warning. A direct snap to tight end Mark Andrews results in a 2-yard gain and a first down, and the Ravens don’t give the ball back to the Chargers.

  • Chargers punt again

    The Chargers punt again after stalling at midfield and pin the Ravens deep in their own territory with a punt. Baltimore will start at its own 7-yard line looking to score before the half with 3:54 remaining.

  • Derrick Henry sets up Lamar Jackson rushing TD

    Derrick Henry barreled through Chargers defenders for 33 yards on two runs on Baltimore’s first two plays of the second quarter. In the red zone, Lamar Jackson ran it himself on a 10-yard keeper for a touchdown to get the Ravens on the board. Baltimore’s 1-2 punch run to perfection, and the Ravens cut the Chargers’ lead to 10-7 midway through the second quarter.
