Ravens-Bengals Game Recap
The Ravens got on the board first with Derrick Henry’s 100th career scrimmage touchdown. However, the Bengals dominated most of the first half otherwise, with Joe Burrow passing for touchdowns to both Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase. Coupled with a safety and two-point conversion, the Bengals took a 17-14 lead into halftime.
The second half saw fireworks, with Jackson and Burrow each throwing three touchdowns. Between the end of the second quarter and start of the fourth quarter, the teams combined to score touchdowns on seven consecutive possessions. Some notable superlatives:
- Jackson became the first player in NFL history with multiple games of 300 pass yards, 50 rush yards and 4 Pass TD.
- Chase and Higgins each caught two TDs. They are the first Bengals duo with multiple Rec TDs in the same game since Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh in 2007 vs the Browns.
- Burrow’s 5 Pass TDs were a career-high and the most by a Bengals QB since Andy Dalton in 2013 vs. the Jets.
The biggest play was a 70-yard touchdown from Burrow to Chase in the fourth quarter, making the score 38-28 Bengals. The score was Chase’s 10th career touchdown of 60+ yards, tying Isaac Curtis for the most in Bengals history.

However, Burrow’s first interception of the game with 3:05 remaining to Marlon Humphrey gave the Ravens some life. Even after a stop, the Ravens tied the game with a season-long Justin Tucker 56-yard field goal, sending it to overtime.
Overtime was full of plot twists. Baltimore appeared to be driving for the win on the opening possession of OT, but Jackson was strip-sacked by linebacker Germaine Pratt, setting the Bengals up in prime position at the Ravens’ 38-yard line.
However, curiously conservative playcalling led the Bengals to settle for a 53-yard Evan McPherson field goal attempt, which was wide left after a poor snap-and-hold operation. The next play, Derrick Henry galloped 51 yards to the six-yard line, setting Tucker up for the game-winning chip shot.
DERRICK HENRY THE KING.
THIS. GAME.
