The Cincinnati Bengals bounced back from a slow start to hand the Baltimore Ravens a decisive 35-13 loss at M&T Stadium on Sunday. After trailing 13-0 at halftime, the Bengals erupted in the second half, scoring 35 unanswered points.

Second‑half surge

Quarterback Joe Burrow completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards and four touchdowns. He opened the third quarter with a six‑yard strike to tight end Mike Gesicki, putting Cincinnati on the board. Burrow then connected with Tee Higgins for a 13‑yard touchdown, giving the Bengals a 14‑13 lead.

Higgins, who recorded six catches for 148 yards, added a second score later in the period. The Bengals continued to press, driving 88 yards and capping the drive with a one‑yard run by Samaje Perine to extend the lead to 21‑13.

Burrow finished the scoring barrage with touchdown passes to Ja’Marr Chase and rookie Drew Sample, sealing a 35‑13 final.

Ravens struggle

Baltimore’s starting quarterback Lamar Jackson missed his third consecutive game due to an ankle injury, leaving the Ravens without their offensive catalyst. The team managed a 48‑yard screen pass touchdown by Zay Flowers early, but could not sustain momentum.

After the halftime break, the Ravens went three‑and‑out on their first possession and later failed to convert on a fourth‑and‑2 at the Cincinnati 12‑yard line, turning the ball over on downs.

Implications

The win improves Cincinnati’s record to 4‑2, keeping the Bengals in contention for a playoff spot as the season progresses. The next game is scheduled for November 1 against the Tennessee Titans at Paycor Stadium, with kickoff at 1 p.m.
