Tyler Huntley and the Baltimore Ravens were painfully close to defeating Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Huntley dominated the last two Ravens drives in the fourth quarter after the team went down by double digits.
Huntley twice drove the Ravens down and hit pay dirt, the second bringing the home side to within a point of a tie. Just like last week, Ravens head coach Jim Harbaugh decided to go for two to go ahead, but the pass to Mark Andrews could not be completed.
Despite the loss, Huntley proved he can be a starting quarterback in the league. The 23-year-old completed 28 of his 40 passes for 215 yards and two passing touchdowns while rushing for 73 yards and two touchdowns in an incredible performance.

His performance against the Packers will no doubt have several other teams around the league sit up and take notice. There are plenty of teams who are in need of a quarterback, so Huntley could garner some interest after his superb outing on Sunday.

If he keeps producing performances as he has this season, Huntley will not be a backup for long. While he's not the best passer in football, he did make several throws on Sunday, especially to tight end Mark Andrews, which suggests he has a bright future in the league.
After Sunday's game, the NFL is now fully aware of the kind of talent Tyler Huntley possesses.
