Ravens Edge Out Bengals 35-34 in Dramatic Last-Minute Victory as Burrow Falls Short

The Baltimore Ravens edged out the Cincinnati Bengals 35-34 on November 7 in a nail-biting divisional matchup, kicking off Week 10 with high drama. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for four touchdowns, including a decisive five-yard pass to Rashod Bateman with just 1:49 left on the clock. This clutch play sealed the victory for Baltimore, delivering their second win against Cincinnati this season.

After Jackson’s game-winning pass, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow drove his team downfield with urgency, ultimately finding the end zone. However, his two-point conversion attempt fell short, missing the mark and denying Cincinnati a comeback victory. This marked a stunning conclusion to a tightly contested game that had fans on the edge of their seats until the last second.

Chase’s Explosive Performance Not Enough for Bengals

Despite the loss, Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase delivered a standout performance, recording 11 receptions for a staggering 264 yards and three touchdowns. His impact was undeniable, with a crucial 70-yard touchdown catch in the second half that kept Cincinnati’s hopes alive. Burrow relied heavily on Chase throughout the night, finishing with 428 passing yards and four touchdowns. However, it was Baltimore that walked away with the victory.

This game was the second high-scoring battle between these teams this season. In their previous meeting in Week 5, the Ravens outlasted the Bengals 41-38 in an overtime thriller. Unlike that game, Thursday’s contest began quietly, with the teams managing only 21 points between them in the first half.

Baltimore’s Offense Shines in the Second Half

After trailing 21-7 early in the third quarter, Baltimore turned the tide, capitalizing on a crucial turnover. They went on to score four consecutive touchdowns, showcasing an offensive surge that proved too much for Cincinnati. With the win, Baltimore improved to 7-3, sweeping their season series against the Bengals and strengthening their playoff position.
