    Rookie quarterback Michael Pratt capped off a scoring drive with an 18-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Bo Melton during the second quarter of Saturday’s preseason finale between the Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens.

    The go-ahead scoring drive went 65 yards in seven plays.

    On 3rd-and-4 from the Ravens 18-yard line, Melton lined up in the slot and ran a fade against man-to-man coverage. Pratt identified the matchup and threw a nice back-shoulder ball for Melton, who completed the spinning catch in the end zone for the score. The touchdown gave the Packers a 13-7 lead.

    Here was the touchdown:

    Melton beat Ravens cornerback Damarion Williams for the touchdown.

    On the drive, running back Emanuel Wilson had a 20-yard catch and a 12-yard run.

    Pratt, who is competing to be the backup quarterback, is 6-of-8 passing for 67 yards and a touchdown — good for a 139.1 passer rating — over two drives. The Packers scored on both.

    Melton, who was a surprise contributor to end last season, is likely a roster lock as the No. 5 wide receiver.
