No magic in Baltimore this time.
The Bengals defense allowed 265 yards rushing to the Ravens in Lamar Jackson’s first career start. There were multiple chances for the Bengals offense to tie and win the game in the fourth quarter, but their inconsistent offense was snuffed out by the smothering Ravens defense. The Bengals are now at 5-5 on the season, and still have a multitude of issues to work out.
Here are our winners and losers from Cincinnati’s 24-21 defeat to the Ravens.
Winners:
Shawn Williams: Cincinnati’s offense punted five out of their six drives in the first half, so Williams took it upon himself to give the offense great field position to start the third quarter.
