Justin Tucker had a lot to do with that.

Tucker’s franchise-record 61-yard field goal with 38 seconds left lifted Baltimore to an 18-16 win over Detroit.

Ravens rookie safety Matt Elam sealed the victory with an interception – Matthew Stafford’s third of the night.

Stafford threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Fauria with 2:21 left, putting Detroit ahead 16-15. But the Lions were unable to make a 2-point conversion and couldn’t prevent Baltimore from setting up its sensational kicker for his sixth field goal.

Tucker’s kick went just inside the right upright and barely had enough distance eight days after Denver’s Matt Prater broke the NFL record with a 64-yard field goal.

Detroit (7-7) has hurt its playoff chances by losing four of its last five, falling out of sole possession of first place in the NFC North to third place.
