An evenly-matched first two quarters saw the Baltimore Ravens take a seven-point lead at half-time.

Two more Forbath kicks brought the Redskins to within a point of the Ravens going into the final quarter.

Ray Rice added Baltimore's fourth touchdown of the game to leave the Redskins needing a score in the final minutes of regular time.

Quarterback Robert Griffin III picked up a knee injury which left him unable to finish the game.

Backup QB Kirk Cousins threw to Pierre Garcon, then ran in a two-point conversion himself to tie up the scores in the final seconds.

The Ravens had the first drive of overtime, but were unable to add to their 28 points.

The Redskins took a field goal at the end of their drive, which Forbath successfully dispatched, to keep the Skins second in the NFC East, while the Ravens remain the top side in the AFC North.
