Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had rallied his team from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit, connecting on scoring passes of 6 yards to Derrick Mason and 9 yards to tight end Todd Heap to put Baltimore ahead 21-20 with 1:05 to play
Flacco finished 22 of 34 for 216 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. He also threw a 5-yard scoring pass to Anquan Boldin in the third quarter.
Atlanta had totally dominated play in taking a 10-0 lead into halftime.
Ryan's 28-yard scoring pass to Jason Snelling early in the second quarter accounted for the only touchdown of the half.
Matt Bryant added a 28-yard field goal with 17 seconds left on a drive kept alive when Baltimore's Lardarius Webb fumbled away a punt.
