Bengals vs. Ravens score, live updates: Thursday Night Football heads to Baltimore for AFC North showdown

Just over a month ago, the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals played one of the best games of this NFL season. The Ravens’ 41-38 overtime win in Cincinnati got Baltimore to 3-2, and the league’s top offense was in top gear. Lamar Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdown passes, while the ground game rolled up 175 yards. Not to be outdone, Joe Burrow was phenomenal in the loss, throwing for 392 yards and five scores, alongside one interception. Bengals kicker Evan McPherson missed a 53-yard field goal in overtime, which allowed the Ravens to win with a Justin Tucker field goal.

That loss dropped Cincinnati to 1-4 on the season, but as they’ve done several times over the last several years, the Bengals have bounced back and enter tonight’s matchup at 4-5, needing a win to climb back into the AFC playoff picture. Baltimore comes in at 6-3, and needs a win to keep pace with the Steelers at the top of the AFC North.

  • Bengals get 1st down on pass interference call

  • Ravens go 3-and-out

    On the Ravens’ first offensive play, Lamar Jackson throws deep to Rashod Bateman, who’s triple-covered. The pass would’ve been a 40-yard gain, but goes incomplete.

    Derrick Henry runs for a 6-yard gain on 2nd down, followed by Justice Hill gaining no yards on 3rd down. Baltimore has to punt.

    A 54-yard kick by Jordan Stout gives Cincinnati the ball at their 10-yard line.

  • TOUCHDOWN, Bengals

    After a holding penalty gives Cincinnati 1st-and-goal at the 1-yard line, Chase Brown scores a touchdown. With the extra point, the Bengals take a 7–0 lead.

    Joe Burrow threw to the end zone just before being tackled to Chase Brown, but the pass was incomplete. However, Brandon Stephens was called for holding Ja’Marr Chase. First down

  • Ravens lose replay challenge, timeout on Mike Gesicki catch

    The Bengals’ Mike Gesicki makes a 3-yard catch at the left sideline to the Ravens’ 2-yard line. John Harbaugh challenged the play, saying Gesicki didn’t control the ball as he fell out of bounds.

    Replay showed that Gesicki did make the catch and upheld the call, so Baltimore loses a timeout. Was the challenge worth three yards?

    After finding an open spot in the pocket, Joe Burrow hits Ja’Marr Chase for a 26-yard gain on 3rd-and-9 to the Baltimore 30-yard line.

  • Bengals get the ball first

    The Ravens won the coin toss and deferred. The Bengals will take the field first on offense.

    As AFC North rivals, the Ravens and Bengals play twice a season. The two teams previously met in Week 5 with Baltimore winning in overtime, 41–38.

    The Ravens forced OT on a 56-yard Justin Tucker field goal with 1:40 remaining in regulation.

    Lamar Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns, completing 26-of-42 passes. He also rushed for 55 yards on 12 carries. Derrick Henry ran for 92 yards and a score on 15 rushes. And Zay Flowers had 7 catches for 111 yards.

    The Amazon Prime NFL studio crew named their MVP picks at midseason. One of the quartet picked a quarterback we’ll see tonight, the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson.

    The Ravens added some running back depth before Thursday’s game, activating Keaton Mitchell from the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list earlier in the day.

    Mitchell, 22, hasn’t played since tearing his ACL in Week 15 versus the Jaguars last season.

    Only Derrick Henry and Justice Hill have carried the ball this season for Baltimore. With the short week, Mitchell should get some work to give those two a break.

    Tee Higgins is again inactive for the Bengals with a quad injury. However, Jermaine Burton is active after the team made him inactive in Week 9 following a no-show at last Saturday’s walkthrough.

    For the Ravens, tight end Isaiah Likely is inactive with a hamstring injury. Cornerback Tre’Davious White is also inactive after Baltimore acquired him from the Rams this week.
