Overview
- Baltimore improved to 3-5 with a second straight victory and sits 1.5 games behind the AFC North–leading Steelers, while Miami fell to 2-7.
- Jackson, back from a hamstring injury after three missed games, went 18-of-23 for 204 yards with four touchdown passes in his first start since Sept. 28.
- Derrick Henry powered the ground game with 119 yards on 19 carries, and tight ends Mark Andrews (two TDs) and Charlie Kolar, plus Rashod Bateman, caught Jackson’s scoring throws.
- Miami’s offense stalled with red-zone miscues and a missed field goal as Tua Tagovailoa finished 25-of-40 for 261 yards with an interception, renewing questions around coach Mike McDaniel’s direction.
- Reports noted potential NFL scrutiny of Baltimore’s practice and injury reporting on Jackson in recent days, a developing matter that could lead to a fine.
