Bengals vs. Ravens result, live updates: Cincinnati leads 14-7 at halftime on Thursday Night Football
Posted on | Posted on angela

A little 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 moved Baltimore to 3-2 and the league's top offense was in full swing. Lamar Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdown passes while the ground game totaled 175 yards. Not to be outdone, Joe Burrow was phenomenal in the loss, throwing for 392 yards and five scores and one interception. Bengals kicker Evan McPherson missed a 53-yard field goal in overtime, allowing the Ravens to win on a Justin Tucker field goal.

This loss dropped Cincinnati to 1-4 on the season, but as they have done several times in recent years, the Bengals have bounced back and enter today's game at 4-5. They need a win to advance back into the AFC playoffs image. Baltimore comes into the game at 6-3 and needs a win to keep pace with the Steelers at the top of the AFC North.

Live62 updates

  • The Ravens are at the Cincinnati 24 and now it's the burning clock, less than three minutes after a first down by Derrick Henry. The Bengals still have all three timeouts.

  • Lamar Jackson created a scramble and then threw to the wrong guy: Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt. The Bengals began celebrating a pick, but replay shows Taylor-Britt dropped the ball on the ground. It's an incomplete pass and the Ravens avoid disaster.

  • The Ravens entered tonight with the worst pass defense with 280.9 yards allowed per game. Burrow is now up to 390 yards.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Ja'Marr Chase answers with a 70-yard TD

    On the first play of the drive, Joe Burrow (again) finds a wide-open Ja'Marr Chase, resulting in a 70-yard touchdown catch. He stopped short of the end zone to extend the play, which the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium didn't like.

    Chase has 238 of the Bengals' 432 yards tonight.

  • Here's what happened on the two-point conversion. Just your basic read option with two of the most dangerous runners in the league.

  • This happened shortly before the comeback began.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Ravens take the lead on Lamar Jackson's third touchdown of the night

    The Bengals blitzed on 3rd-and-9 and had no one left to get Mark Andrews. Lamar Jackson finds him and the Ravens are ahead 28-21 after a successful two-point conversion. That's 21 points in a row after falling behind 21-7.

  • The Ravens open the drive with two straight first downs off the arm of Lamar Jackson and are already in field goal territory to take the lead. This game moved very quickly.

  • Burrow throws a deep strike to Jermaine Burton on fourth down that falls incomplete short of the end zone. The Ravens take over their own 34 with 9:29 minutes left.

  • The Ravens get the stop on third-and-2 at their own 34, but the Bengals try on fourth down.

  • The Ravens defense continually misses opportunities to get off the field.

  • Ja'Marr Chase is up to 168 yards on eight catches and 12 targets. He is the Bengals' offensive lineman with Tee Higgins out.

  • This was the seventh missed extra point of Tucker's career in 507 attempts. All of them have been there for the last seven seasons.

    It looks like he missed the shot just to the left.

  • TOUCHDOWN: Tylan Wallace runs a balancing act for 86 yards, but Justin Tucker misses the XP

    On 3rd-and-2, Lamar Jackson gets the ball to an open Tylan Wallace, who fends off a cornerback tackle and somehow manages to go out of bounds for an 86-yard touchdown. It's not a game-winning touchdown, however, as Justin Tucker missed his first extra point of the season.

  • The Ravens get the stop after pressuring Burrow two plays in a row. The Bengals punt and the Ravens have a chance to get revenge after being on defense all game.

  • The third quarter ends with the Bengals pushing past midfield again, but Nnamdi Madubuike's third sack of the night puts them on 2nd-and-16 at the Ravens' 40. There are some big plays at the start of the fourth quarter.

  • The Amazon stream just showed Kyle Hamilton on the sidelines wearing a walking boot.
