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.

  • 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.

    A five-yard run by Derrick Henry and nine-yard catch by Flowers isn't enough to get a first down. Jordan Stout punts 46 yards and the Bengals take over at their 34-yard line.

  • Bengals go 3-and-out

  • Ravens go 3-and-out

    On the Ravens' first offensive play, Lamar Jackson throws deep to Rashod Bateman, who's triple-covered. The pass would've been a 40-yard gain, but goes incomplete.
