Bengals vs. Ravens postgame recap

Joe Burrow’s 56 pass attempts were the second-most in a game of his career, five fewer than his career-high of 61 in Week 2 of his rookie season in Cleveland. It was also the second-most attempts by a quarterback this season, behind Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousins’ 58 in Week 3. Burrow finished the night with 2,253 career pass attempts, surpassing Jeff Blake (2,221) for the fifth-most in Bengals history.

Burrow’s season-high 34 completions were his sixth-most in a game. It was also his seventh career game with 4+ touchdown passes (third of the season).

Burrow’s 428 passing yards were the fourth-most in a game of his career and marked his sixth career 400-yard passing performance. He completed a pass to seven different receivers that night.

Another opening drive TD

Burrow and the offense led a 12-play, 70-yard touchdown drive to open the game, capped by Chase Brown’s fifth rushing score of the season. Burrow completed five of eight passes for 61 yards during the drive, including third-down conversions to Ja’Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas.

The Bengals have reached the end zone on their first possession in each of their last three games and in four of the last five games. The breakout came in Week 7 in Cleveland when Charlie Jones gave them an early lead with a 100-yard return on the opening kickoff of the game.

Brown has now scored seven touchdowns in his last seven games (five rushing, two receiving).

“Hudson’s Premier of the Year puts Bengals ahead”

Burrow found Tanner Hudson in the end zone with 30 seconds left in the second quarter, giving Cincinnati a 14-7 halftime lead. It was Hudson’s first touchdown of the season and the second of his career.

The Bengals began the possession with 4:02 left in the quarter. On the seventh play of the drive, Burrow threw what was initially considered an interception in the end zone, but was ruled incomplete after a review of the play. Two snaps later, Burrow hit Jermaine Burton on a third-and-five to move the sticks and set up the first-and-goal.
