Packers and Ravens tied at 7 after first quarter
Baltimore won the opening coin toss and elected to receive. Tyler Huntley started at quarterback in place of an injured Lamar Jackson (back).
The Ravens converted two third downs on a 13-play, 75-yard scoring drive. Derrick Henry rushed for 48 yards on seven carries, including a 3-yard touchdown run that put Baltimore up 7-0 with 6 minutes, 55 seconds left in the first quarter.
Packers safety Zayne Anderson injured his ankle on the ensuing kickoff and was ruled out. Malik Willis, starting at quarterback in place of Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion), opened with a 40-yard pass to Romeo Doubs down the left sideline to the Ravens' 29-yard line.
Back-to-back pre-snap penalties pushed the Packers into first-and-20, but Willis immediately fired a 39-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson over the middle to tie the game at 7 with 5:44 left in the first quarter.
The Ravens charged right back behind Huntley, who completed his first seven passes before scrambling for a first down on second-and-8 to the Green Bay 18.
