The Ravens took an early lead in the first quarter after RB Derrick Henry scored a rushing touchdown, with Tyler Loop converting the extra point. However, Malik Willis did not take long to respond, leveling the playing field with a 39-yard passing touchdown to WR Christian Watson.

In the second quarter, Harbaugh's team kept pressuring the Packers with its offensive momentum. Henry scored two more touchdowns while Loop converted two field goal attempts. Willis scored a 22-yard rushing touchdown that minimized the deficit to 27-14 at halftime.

In the third quarter, Brandon McManus scored a 24-yard field goal, followed by another rushing touchdown from Willis. This resulted in the Packers trailing the game by just three points.

However, the Ravens made one final push in the fourth quarter. Tyler Huntley's passing touchdown, followed by Derrick Henry's 25-yard rushing touchdown to secure the win for John Harbaugh's team.

Despite the loss, the Packers have already clinched a playoff spot thanks to the Vikings' Christmas Day victory over the Lions. They are in second place in the NFC North with a 9-6-1 record.
