Halfway through the Week 5 edition of “Sunday Night Football,” the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals are tied 10-10.
Things got off to a slow start, with four of the game’s first five possessions resulting in punts. Things picked up in the second quarter, with Lamar Jackson finding Mark Andrews for an 11-yard touchdown pass at the end of a seven-play, 50-yard drive to give the Ravens a 10-point lead . Baltimore had a chance to stretch things further later in the quarter, but Jackson’s pass intended for Demarcus Robinson sailed high and was intercepted by Vonn Bell. That’s when the Bengals seemingly came alive.
Joe Burrow led a seven-play, 83-yard touchdown drive that was capped by a Hayden Hurst touchdown catch. (Remember that Hurst was originally drafted by the Ravens in the same draft where they picked both Jackson and Andrews.) The Bengals then quickly got the Ravens to punt on the next possession, and Burrow quickly moved the Bengals down the field and in the countryside. scoring range even though Tee Higgins and Jonah Williams were out of the lineup with injuries.
