HEARTBREAKER FOR RAVENS— GIANTS 27, BALTIMORE 23…

Maybe I should have tipped off the Ravens that I have followed Marty Mornhinweg’s career for many years, and that he seems to struggle with calling the right plays in 4th-and-goal short yardage situations…

But I didn’t want to jinx Marty or the Ravens….

To no avail. The Ravens offense blew a golden opportunity at the Giants’ goal line and walked away with no points—and their third consecutive loss.

Add to that a banged-up Odell Beckham Jr. turned a short fourth-and-1 pass into a winning 66-yard catch and run with 1:24 to play Sunday as the New York Giants snapped a three-game losing streak with a stunning victory over the ravens.

Beckham caught eight passes for a career-best 222 yards and two touchdowns despite having to leave the field in the first half with a hip pointer in carrying the Giants (3-3) to their 700th win in franchise history. “I am going to go out there and play the same way every time,” Beckham said of his many emotional problems on the field this season. “I don’t think I played any different besides me being injured. It was the same passing. I think because I was hurt I couldn’t express it [the emotion] as much as I wanted to.”

The Ravens (3-3) got to the Giants 24 in the waning seconds, thanks to a questionable roughing-the-quarterback penalty on Joe Flacco, but the Giants broke up a pass in the end zone.

The Giants were on the verge of a fourth straight loss after Terrance West scored on a 2-yard run with 2:04 to play, giving the Ravens a short-lived 23-20 lead.

West’s second short touchdown run came three plays after Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was flagged for a questionable pass interference at the New York 8.

But Beckham came through on a call Eli Manning changed at the line of scrimmage. Cornerback Tavon Young either slipped or was hurt covering him.

Ravens safety Eric Weddle said Beckham should not have gotten inside on the quick cross from right to left.

“Hey, Odell made some amazing plays, you got to credit him,” Weddle said. “We held him down in the first half. We had some guys go down. The guys behind them have to step up. That’s why we’re here. We play an aggressive style defense. We man guys up. We just didn’t get it done.”

Beckham did.

“He is a playmaker, he is a game changer and he did exactly that today,” said linebacker Jonathan Casillas, who stopped West on fourth-and-goal from the 1 earlier in the quarter.

Flacco (26 of 48 for 307 yards) drove the Ravens to the Giants 24 in the waning seconds. But his final pass was knocked down in the end zone.

Manning (32 of 46 for 403 yards) also a threw 24-yard touchdown pass to Roger LewisJr. Josh Brown had field goals of 21 and 31 yards, the latter set up by a 43-yard catch by Beckham.

Justin Tucker kicked field goals of 23, 39 and 35 yards in Marty Mornhinweg’s first game as Baltimore offensive coordinator.

INJURIES: The Ravens came into the game without five starters: WR Steve Smith Sr., T Ronnie Stanley, G Marshal Yanda, Returner Devin Hester Sr. and LB C.J. Mosley. CBJimmy Smith did not play in the second half because of a concussion.

NEXT UP: In a scheduling oddity, the Ravens are back at MetLife Stadium to play the Jets next Sunday. The Giants head to London, where they will be the visitors against the Rams in an early game on Sunday, with a 9:30 a.m. EDT kickoff.
