Chase Brown of the Bengals scores a 1-yard TD run against the Ravens

BALTIMORE – The Cincinnati Bengals scored first in a big AFC North showdown on Thursday night.

Running back Chase Brown scored on a 1-yard run with 9:23 left in the first quarter to give the visitors a 7-0 lead over the Baltimore Ravens. It capped a 12-play, 70-yard first drive.

Cincinnati’s drive was extended by a holding penalty on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line. Ravens cornerback Brandon Stephens was charged for holding Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase as he tried to get open in the back corner of the end zone. Quarterback Joe Burrow escaped the pressure and nearly threw a touchdown pass on the play. However, the ball flew just over Brown, who was open in the back of the end zone.

But the aggressiveness was still rewarded with the penalty. Cincinnati scored one play later.

The Bengals (4-5) are looking to reach .500 for the first time this season and avoid being defeated by the Ravens (6-3).
