Ravens vs. Bengals score, takeaways: Derrick Henry, Baltimore sink Cincy in OT, survive Joe Burrow's five TDs (2024)

Ravens win in OT

A missed FG by McPherson and a 51-yard TD run by Derrick Henry set up Justin Tucker's game-winning field goal. A wild game here in Cincinnati.

Bengals defense steps up

Germaine Pratt recovered Jackson's botch snap and the Bengals now are in position to attempt a game-winning field goal. Need maybe 5-7 yards to get in McPherson's range.

We have OT

A sack forced the Bengals to punt on their final drive of regulation. The Ravens won the toss and will start the extra session with the ball.

As a refresher, a TD by either team will end the game. Cincinnati will get a chance with the ball if the Ravens don't score a TD here. Any score would win the game for either team at that point.

Tucker redeems himself

Justin Tucker hasn't had the best season so far, but he just drilled a 56-yard, game-tying field goal with 1:35 left. Bengals will now try to get Evan McPherson in position to do the same.

Ravens have life

It appeared that the Bengals were on their way to another score when Marlon Humphrey picked off Burrow deep in Ravens territory. The Ravens now have the ball and a chance to either tie or win the game with 2:30 left.

Jackson responds, again

The quarterbacks are putting on a show today. On Baltimore's next drive, Jackson bobbled the snap, stiff-armed Sam Hubbard, then hit TE Isaiah Likely in the end zone for a score. Bengals still ahead 38-35 with just over four minutes left.

Chase scores again

Well, that didn't last long. One the Bengals' first play on their next drive, Burrow hit Chase on a slant and Chase took it 70 yards to the house. It's 38-28 Bengals with 8:54 left.

Burrow has thrown a career-high five touchdowns and has 353 yards on 27 of 34 passing. Chase and Higgins both have two touchdown catches, Chase with 9 grabs for 174 yards.

Ravens respond on vintage Jackson drive

Lamar Jackson quickly took the Ravens 92 yards down the field as the Ravens pulled to within three with 9:05 left. Jackson did a lot of it on his own that included runs of 18 and 13 yards. He also re-found his connection with Mark Andrews on completions of 27 and 13 yards.

The drive fittingly ended with Jackson hitting Charlie Kolar for his third TD pass of the game.

Burrow throws 4th TD as Bengals extend lead

Burrow hit RB Chase Brown on a swing pass on the near side as Bengals' extend lead to 31-21. A 12-play, 70 yard drive that included three third-down conversions.

We head to the fourth

Bengals on in Ravens territory as the third quarter ends. Bengals have been exceptional on third down in the second half after being 1 of 5 in the first half. Cincinnati is 8 of 12 today which means they're 7 of 7 on third down this half.

Ravensquickly answer

Baltimore sprinted four plays in 74 yards on a drive that was capped off by Jackson's short TD pass to Isaiah Likely. The drive's big play was Jackson's 55-yard completion to Charlie Kolar.

Bengals extend lead

Despite Mims' injury, the Bengals added to their lead when Burrow hit Higgins for their second TD connection of the day. The score was set up by Burrow's 39-yard, third-down completion to Andrei Iosivas.

As you can see, the Bengals much better on third down so far this half after being 1 of 5 in that department in the first half.

Mims down for Bengals

Bengals rookie OT Amarius Mims was carted off Bengals are moving on offense to start the second half. Mims is starting in place of veteran Trent Brown, who is also injured. Cody Ford is replacing Mims at RT. Ford has 34 career starts under his belt.

Bengals' safety cuts deficit to 14-9

After great downed punt by Cincinnati's special teams led to a safety by Sam Hubbard after he tackled Derrick Henry in the end zone. Hubbard has been a beast today with this TFL and his sack earlier in the half.

Bengals now have the ball back and a chance to score again with 5:47 left in the first half.

Henry reaches 10,000 career rushing yards as Ravens re-gain lead

Henry became the 32nd player to reach 10,000 on a five-yard run early in the second quarter. The run helped set up Jackson's go-ahead TD pass to Rashod Bateman on a perfectly-executed play-action rollout.

Ravens punt again

After getting pass-happy on their second drive, the Ravens start their third drive with two Henry carries that netted five yards. Jackson was hurried and threw an incompletion on third down.

Bengals pass rush has been vastly better today than it was during the season's first four games.

Bengals tie things up

Cincinnati began the second quarter inside the Ravens' red zone. As they did a week ago in Carolina, Zack Moss and Chase Brown were leaned heavily on during this drive.

Cincinnati capped the drive off with Joe Burrow hitting Tee Higgins for Higgins' first TD catch of the season. The Bengals' offense has found its stride since Higgins returned to the lineup.

Bengals, Ravens exchange punts

Cincinnati went nowhere on its first drive as Zack Moss was stuffed third-and-1. Jackson and Flowers connected again for a 26-yard gain on Baltimore's next drive, but the drive stalled after Sam Hubbard sacked Jackson after the Ravens had crossed midfield.

Bengals pass rush hasn't been effective this year, so Hubbard's sack is a encouraging sign for the home team.

Henry's 100th TD gives Ravens early 7-0 lead

Derrick Henry capped off the Ravens' 12-play, 70-yard drive with his 100th career TD run. The drive's big play was Lamar Jackson's 23-yard completion to Zay Flowers, who faked out Cam Taylor-Britt as he broke to the outside before making the uncontested catch.

Bengals rallying behind defense

Cincinnati opts to feature the defense during pregame intros. Rookie DT Kris Jenkins Jr. to make first career start with Sheldon Rankins still out.

Henry on doorstep of history

Derrick Henry is 1 TD away from 100 for his career and 18 rushing yards away from 10,000. Henry is also on pace to become the first player with multiple 2,000-yard seasons and would be the first player to do after turning 30.

Today, he's facing a Bengals defense that is 25th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed.

Higgins factor

His numbers haven't jumped off a page, but Tee Higgins has made a significant impact on the Bengals' offense since he returned to the starting lineup in Week 3. His presence has ignited the offense and specifically has made life much easier for Ja'Marr Chase. It'll be interesting to see if Burrow looks his way more today, especially on the shorter routes that he is seemingly always open on.

Bengals Burrow in must-win mode

Bengals QB Joe Burrow elevated his intensity following Cincinnati's 0-3 start. He knows the margin for error is extremely small, but with a win today, the Bengals would move ahead of Baltimore in the AFC North standings with very winnable games upcoming at NYG and CLE before hosting Philly.

Burrow has had some of his best and worst career moments against Baltimore. He threw for a career-high 525 yards against them in 2021 and his second-most recent playoff win also came against his division rival. But Burrow also sustained his season-ending wrist injury last year in Baltimore.

New look Bengals

Ravens inactives

Baltimore is relatively healthy, but they will be without starting G Andrew Vorhees for a second straight game. The Ravens received a solid efforts last week from veteran backup Patrick Mekari, and rookie second-round pick Roger Rosengarten has shown promise at RT.

Bengals inactives

Cincinnati won't have Sheldon Rankings, but fellow D-linemen B.J. Hill and Myles Murphy back, which is a big boost for the Bengals' defense. Cincinnati's defense has struggled this year, especially against the run.
