Watch: Ravens TE Isaiah Likely makes one-handed grab, scores TD
The Baltimore Ravens are cementing their status as a Super Bowl contender against the Miami Dolphins.
With 1:59 remaining in the second quarter, Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith intercepted Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on the Baltimore 44-yard line. Then, on a fourth-and-7, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson threw a 35-yard TD to second-year tight end Isaiah Likely, who made an impressive one-handed grab. The big play gave Baltimore a 28-14 lead.
Ravens star TE Mark Andrews — a three-time Pro Bowler — is still on injured reserve (ankle). During his absence, Likely has emerged as a dependable pass-catcher. Entering Week 17, he had 26 receptions for 338 yards and two TDs.
Baltimore's offense is loaded with dynamic playmakers, a reason it could capture its third title. It ranks fourth in the NFL in points scored (27.8). As of Sunday, FanDuel gives the Ravens (12-3) the second-best Super Bowl odds (+350) behind the San Francisco 49ers (11-4, +240).
