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

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.

Live70 updates

  • The decision stands and the Bengals still have 60 yards to go with 1:36 left and one timeout remaining.

  • The Bengals barely manage to convert after Burrow survives a blitz and finds Andrei Iosivas right at the first-down line. The refs review the first down call and it’s hard to see any reason to overturn it.

  • Oof, it looks like the referees gave Nnamdi Madubuike a facemask on an incomplete pass from Joe Burrow. The next game is also incomplete, and now the Bengals face 4th-and-10.

  • TOUCHDOWN: The Ravens advance with Lamar Jackson’s 4th touchdown of the night

    Jackson goes back to Bateman and it’s a touchdown this time. The Bengals will get the ball back with 1:49 left and a timeout. Given the pace they have achieved tonight, the game is far from over.

  • Huge break for the Bengals after the Ravens opted for a 2nd-and-goal throw. Lamar Jackson’s pass to Rashod Batemen is incomplete, stopping the clock.

  • This play has reached the two-minute warning, with the Ravens on the Bengals’ 5th-and-goal. Cincinnati only has one timeout left and won’t have much time left if they limit the Ravens to a field goal here.

  • The Bengals use their first timeout with 2:16 left and the Ravens have 2nd-and-10 on the 24th.

  • 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.
