2026 Outlook
Week 5 start confirmed with Jackson ruled out (Oct 9): Huntley will make his first start of 2026 against the Falcons after Lamar Jackson was ruled out with an ankle injury. Ravens HC Jesse Minter confirmed Jackson did not practice all week and took a cautious approach despite "an outside chance" of playing. Huntley showed competence in Week 4 relief duty (8-of-9 passing for 63 yards, 4 rushing attempts for 16 yards) but his conservative career passing average of 5.9 yards per attempt is a significant step down from Jackson's league-leading 10.1 YPA. The Ravens lose their rushing identity without Jackson; Derrick Henry will be featured more heavily in the ground game with Huntley managing the offense. Ravens enter as 3-point underdogs vs. Atlanta despite being 3-1, a reflection of the QB downgrade.

Week 5 victory — late-game heroics over Falcons (Oct 12): Huntley delivered game-winning performances in Baltimore's 30-23 OT victory vs Atlanta on Sunday night. In the fourth quarter, with the Ravens down eight, Huntley led a 71-yard drive that tied the game with 50 seconds remaining. In overtime, he led another dominant 68-yard touchdown drive, taking 7:03 off the clock and leaving the Falcons just 2:57 for their possession. Kyle Hamilton's interception sealed the win. HC Jesse Minter praised the OT drive as "a thing of beauty" and emphasized Huntley's clutch poise: despite looking uncertain early, he managed the game effectively when it mattered most. Ravens improved to 4-1 despite key injuries (Jackson sidelined, edge rusher Trey Hendrickson out with finger injury). Huntley's calm presence under pressure earned respect from the locker room—tackle Ronnie Stanley: "I know we had a great last drive. I know we were moving the ball." This performance shows Huntley can deliver acceptable play in Jackson's absence, with his game management and two-minute drill execution proving more valuable than flashy yardage totals. (per Ravens responded again under pressure to improve to 4-1 despite injuries)
Backup QB behind Lamar Jackson with Baltimore. Huntley spent his first four seasons (2022-2025) under HC John Harbaugh, starting 12 games total including a playoff game in January 2023. He's known for his mobility and ability to execute Harbaugh's run-heavy offensive schemes. After joining Miami in 2024, he returned to Baltimore last season for one more year with Harbaugh. His career backup record stands at 7-9 with 14 TDs and 12 turnovers. (per Ravens rule out Lamar Jackson for Week 5 matchup vs. Falcons due to ankle injury)
