Bengals lose in heartbreaking fashion, Derrick Henry’s ‘Pantsing’ steals spotlight

(Warning: Derrick Henry’s a** contained in this article.)

Ja’Marr Chase’s atomic performance on Thursday Night Football was spoiled after the Cincinnati Bengals failed at what could have been a turning point win against the Baltimore Ravens in Cincy’s disappointing season.

It was a solid bit of entertainment. Thursday night featured Chase’s 264-yard performance (a godsend to fantasy football managers), our weekly dose of a controversial sequence involving the refs, and Derrick Henry’s a** accidentally displayed on screens across this great country.

The Baltimore Ravens edged the Bengals, 35-34. 

The contest ended with Joe Burrow and Cincy’s offense letting everyone down and failing a two-point conversion, seemingly after having the momentum from Ja’Marr Chase’s late-game TD (his third of the night) with roughly 30 seconds left.

Chase made his move and became Burrow’s security blanket all evening. His final stat line was 11 catches for 264 yards and three touchdowns.

Of course, the game came down to the Bengals’ two-point conversion attempt. And instead of going back to Chase, Burrow targeted TE Tanner Hudson…an incompletion.

NFL officials predictably left their mark when they flagrantly tackled Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki on a two-point attempt.

The Ravens defensive line also got away with forceful contact on Burrow, which is usually a penalty in this league, but not this time.

Cincinnati has to take this lightly, but at 4-6, the Bengals are running out of chances to salvage their season.

Baltimore deserves recognition, especially on offense.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson increased his chances of winning MVP this year, completing 25 of 33 for 290 yards and four touchdowns.

Burrow’s performance on Thursday was slightly better with 428 yards (33 of 45) and four touchdowns.

What gives Jackson even more momentum is the QB’s instincts in the pocket, which kept the Bengals’ defensive line silent with no sacks.

Not even the leader in sacks, Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson, was able to get to Lamar.

Baltimore improved to 7-3 – Jackson improved his record against the Bengals to 10-1.

As for Derrick Henry, the powerful running back was in check for most of the first half. His final stat line consisted of 16 rush attempts for 68 yards and a touchdown. By Derrick Henry’s standards, you can live with a performance like that when playing opposing defense.

Henry also gave prime-time viewers a blast after having his pants taken off during a tackle with 3:50 left in the fourth period.

NFL fans were more than impressed with Henry’s backyard on social media, posting screenshots of his moonshine.

You have been warned. Here it is.

TNF’s Bengals and Ravens more than delivered – considering the next game NFL fans can expect is between the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers in Germany.
