Tennessee (AP) - Quarterback Lamar Jackson won a playoff game in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens on the third attempt and led his team to a 20:13 against the Tennessee Titans.
The Ravens turned 10-10 deficit in front of a few thousand spectators in Tennessee and are back in the second round of the playoffs for the first time since January 2015.
There it goes either against the Buffalo Bills or the Kansas City Chiefs.
"That feels good," Jackson told ESPN TV.
"We finished it."
The 24-year-old made an early interception, but then scored a touchdown with a run over 48 yards, the other went to JK Dobbins.
The other eight points got kicker Justin Tucker with two field goals and two extra points.
An interception from Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill two minutes before the end robbed Tennessee of all realistic hopes for a turnaround.

Jackson had been named Most Valuable Main Round Player in the previous season.
He lost the first two playoff games as the Ravens quarterback in the past two years and then had to listen to criticism.
A total of 14 teams were qualified for the playoffs.
On Saturday the Buffalo Bills (against the Indianapolis Colts), the Los Angeles Rams (against the Seattle Seahawks) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (against the Washington Football Team) had already prevailed.
The two top teams at the conferences - the Green Bay Packers around the German passport recipient Equanimeous St. Brown in the NFC and Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC - have no play on the first weekend.
The Super Bowl in Tampa is scheduled for February 7th.
