Lamar Jackson threw for 290 yards and tied a career high with five touchdowns, including a pair to Rashod Bateman, to boost the visiting Baltimore Ravens to a 35-14 win against the skidding New York Giants on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J.
Baltimore (9-5) stayed in the thick of the AFC playoff hunt while moving within one game of AFC North-leading Pittsburgh.
Jackson had more TDs than incompletions, finishing 21-for-25 passing before yielding to backup Josh Johnson. Jackson added 65 yards on six carries to help the Ravens outgain the Giants 445-236.
New York (2-12) tied a franchise record with its ninth consecutive loss. The Giants remained winless at home this season and still are stuck in transition at quarterback.
Back at QB after Drew Lock (heel) was injured against New Orleans last week, Tommy DeVito suffered a concussion late in the second quarter and was ruled out. DeVito was 10-for-13 passing for 68 yards while getting sacked twice.
Tim Boyle completed 12 of his 24 pass attempts for 123 yards with a touchdown and interception in relief. His 23-yard TD strike to Malik Nabers with 6:36 left capped the scoring. Nabers had 10 receptions for 82 yards.
Bateman had 80 yards on three catches, while teammate Devontez Walker's first career reception was a 21-yard TD.
Jackson played almost flawlessly in the first half apart from a fumble deep in New York territory two plays after Justice Hill's 59-yard opening kickoff return.
Baltimore capitalized on a short field off a punt return for its first scoring drive. Jackson punctuated the possession with a 13-yard scoring pass to Mark Andrews, who passed Jamal Lewis for most touchdowns in Ravens history with his 48th.
New York turned the ball over on downs on the ensuing drive, and Baltimore needed just five plays and 2:55 to go 70 yards to the end zone again as Jackson connected with Bateman for a 49-yard touchdown.
Aided by four Ravens penalties, the Giants answered by producing a 13-play, 80-yard TD drive over 8:38, cashing in on Devin Singletary's 2-yard scoring run.
The Ravens got the ball back and marched 80 yards themselves, covering the distance in nine plays and 1:43, culminating with Bateman's 20-yard scoring grab and a 21-7 lead.
Baltimore's Derrick Henry rushed 14 times for 67 yards.
New York's most recent nine-game losing streak came in 2019.
