Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins lead huge Bengals second-half flurry, dropping Lamar Jackson-less Ravens

The Cincinnati Bengals overcame a 13-0 halftime deficit to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 35-13 in Baltimore. After a slow start where they managed only 59 yards on 21 plays, Cincinnati scored five consecutive touchdowns in the second half.

Joe Burrow threw four touchdowns without an interception, marking his second consecutive game with those exact statistics. Tee Higgins led the comeback with six receptions for 148 yards and a score, while Ja'Marr Chase added a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Samaje Perine also found the end zone to help secure the win.

Tyler Huntley started for the absent Lamar Jackson, leading the Ravens to an early lead via a 48-yard touchdown pass to Zay Flowers, who finished the first half with 120 yards on six catches. Two field goals by Tyler Loop also contributed to the Ravens' early lead.

However, Baltimore suffered from 10 penalties and a failed fourth-down attempt by Huntley at the Cincinnati 12-yard line, which was stopped by the rookie tight end Josh Cuevas. The Ravens fall to 4-3 overall and 0-2 in the division, while the Bengals improve to 4-2 and 1-1 in the AFC North.
