The Ravens found themselves down 21-7 early in the third quarter, struggling to gain any ground. However, things turned around dramatically as they scored three quick touchdowns, taking a 28-21 lead. The key moment came when Lamar Jackson connected with tight end Mark Andrews for an 18-yard touchdown on a crucial third-and-9 play. Jackson then added a two-point conversion to put his team ahead.
As the Ravens gained momentum, their final three drives covered impressive distances of 31, 92, and 65 yards, all leading to touchdowns. Unfortunately, their lead was short-lived, lasting merely 13 seconds. On the very first play after the kickoff, Ja’Marr Chase caught a stunning 70-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow, bringing the Bengals back into the game.
Chase had an outstanding performance with 238 receiving yards and two touchdowns from nine catches. Meanwhile, Burrow recorded 390 passing yards and three touchdowns from 30 completions out of 47 attempts. The Bengals were leading 14-7 at halftime, but the game evolved into a high-scoring affair in the second half.
