Bengals vs. Ravens score, live updates: Cincinnati leads 14–7 at halftime on Thursday Night Football
If Round 2 is anything like their first matchup this season, it'll be appointment viewing
Just 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 got Baltimore to 3-2, and the league's top offense was in top gear. Lamar Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdown passes, while the ground game rolled up 175 yards. Not to be outdone, Joe Burrow was phenomenal in the loss, throwing for 392 yards and five scores, alongside one interception. Bengals kicker Evan McPherson missed a 53-yard field goal in overtime, which allowed the Ravens to win with a Justin Tucker field goal.
That loss dropped Cincinnati to 1-4 on the season, but as they've done several times over the last several years, the Bengals have bounced back and enter tonight's matchup at 4-5, needing a win to climb back into the AFC playoff picture. Baltimore comes in at 6-3, and needs a win to keep pace with the Steelers at the top of the AFC North.

TOUCHDOWN: Bengals go up 14 on Ja'Marr Chase's 8th TD of the season
Then Joe Burrow hits Ja'Marr Chase for a 67-yard touchdown on the Bengals' first offensive play of the third quarter. It was a heck of a run after the catch by Chase, and now the Ravens need another multi-touchdown comeback to beat the Bengals.

Ominous start to the second half for the Ravens, who have a Lamar Jackson scrambled wiped out by a holding penalty, another Jackson scramble gain one yard, Diontae Johnson falling down after getting open and then Tylan Wallace getting stopped short on 3rd-and-19, with a declined illegal formation penalty to boot.
It's their fourth 3-and-out in six possessions. Bengals have so far shut down the NFL's top run game, and not given Jackson many open receivers.

Bengals T Amarius Mims in medical tent
Already without Orlando Brown Jr. tonight, the Bengals may have lost another offensive tackle.
Bad news right now on the #Bengals sideline. It appears Amarius Mims is in the blue tent after that drive.
That means practice squad call up Devin Cochran would be set to come in at RT opposite Cody Ford.

Ravens beat Bengals in Week 5, 41–38, in OT
As AFC North rivals, the Ravens and Bengals play twice a season. The two teams previously met in Week 5 with Baltimore winning in overtime, 41–38.
The Ravens forced OT on a 56-yard Justin Tucker field goal with 1:40 remaining in regulation.
Justin Tucker hit the right note against the Cincinnati Bengals, getting right under immense pressure was fitting for him.
Everything from the snap, to the hold and eventually the kick was clean, and the result was as automatic as it’s ever been!
