Bengals Fall To Ravens 35-34 | POSTGAME RECAP, NOTES ...
BALTIMORE -- The Bengals came up one point short Thursday night, falling to the Baltimore Ravens 35-34.
Quarterback Joe Burrow put together a classic two-minute drill, hitting wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase for his third touchdown of the night, but the Bengals went for two to take the lead and failed.
Chase and Burrow stunned the Ravens with touchdown bombs of 67 and 70 yards in the second half at M&T Bank. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson staged a scrambling 11-play drive capped by his five-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Rashod Bateman with 1:49 left to take a 35-28 lead, leaving the door open for the Bengals offense.
Burrow finished the night 428 yards and four touchdowns on 34-of-56 passing, his third time throwing for 400+ yards against the Ravens.
The Ravens cashed Bengals running back Chase Brown's third-quarter fumble for 21 straight points to come away with the AFC North victory.
After a stout Bengals defense held the Ravens' league-leading offense to 102 yards for their lowest output in a first half since 2022, Baltimore used a big play of its own — an 84-yard sideline touchdown catch by Tylan Wallace — to cut the lead to 21-20. They closed the game with four straight touchdowns on offense.
NOTES
No Chasing Ja'Marr
Ja’Marr Chase caught a Joe Burrow pass on the Bengals' first offensive play of the second half, and raced through the Baltimore secondary for a 67-yard touchdown that boosted Cincinnati's lead to 21-7. His top speed reached on the play was 20.86 mph, per Next Gen Stats — the third-fastest he has run on any play in his career.
It marked Chase's 11th career receiving touchdown of 60+ yards, which surpasses Ring of Honor member Isaac Curtis for the most in a career in Bengals history. It also is the most in NFL history by a player under the age of 25.
Chase then scored his 12th such touchdown in the fourth quarter, when after the Ravens took their first lead of the night, Burrow launched a deep ball that his Pro Bowl receiver tracked down for a 70-yard score.
Chase finished the night with 11 catches for 264 yards and the three TDs. It was his third career game with 200+ receiving yards, the most in Bengals history and tied for the most in league history by a player under 25.
Combining Chase's haul on Thursday night with his 193 receiving yards in the Week 5 matchup against Baltimore, his 457 yards against the Ravens are the most by any player versus a single opponent in a season in NFL history. The previous record belonged to former Raiders receiver Art Powell, who had 428 receiving yards against the Houston Oilers in 1963.
Burrow's Busy Night
Joe Burrow's 56 passing attempts were the second-most in a game in his career, five shy of his career-high 61 in Week 2 of his rookie season at Cleveland. It also was the second-most attempts by any quarterback this season, behind Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousins' 58 in Week 3. Burrow finished the night with 2,253 career passing attempts, surpassing Jeff Blake (2,221) for the fifth-most in Bengals history.
Burrow's 34 completions tied for his sixth-most in a game. It also was his seventh career game with 4+ touchdown passes (third this season).
Burrow's 428 passing yards were the fourth-most in a game in his career, and marked his sixth career 400-yard passing performance. He completed a pass to seven different receivers on the night.
Another Opening Drive TD
Burrow and the offense engineered a 12-play, 70-yard touchdown drive to open the game, capped off 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 found the end zone on their first offensive possession in each of their past three games and four of the past five, with the outlier coming in Week 7 at Cleveland when Charlie Jones gave them an early lead with a 100-yard return on the game's opening kickoff.
Brown now has seven touchdowns over his past seven games (five rushing, two receiving).
Hudson's First of the Year Puts Bengals Ahead
Burrow found Tanner Hudson in the end zone with 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter to give Cincinnati a 14-7 lead heading into halftime. It was Hudson's first touchdown of the season and 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 originally ruled an interception in the end zone, but after a review of the play it was ruled incomplete. Two snaps later, Burrow hit Jermaine Burton on a third-and-five to move the sticks and set up first-and-goal.
Extra Points
· DE Sam Hubbard played in his 100th regular-season game.
· TE Cam Grandy made his NFL debut and recorded his first career reception in the fourth quarter.
