The Cincinnati Bengals scored 35 unanswered points in the second half to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 35-13 on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) erased a 13-point halftime deficit to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 35-13 on Sunday. After being outgained 258 to 59 in the first half, Cincinnati scored five unanswered touchdowns following the break. The Ravens (3-3), playing without quarterback Lamar Jackson, became only the third team in NFL history to lead by at least 13 points at halftime and lose the game by 20 or more points.

Wide receiver Tee Higgins led all players with 148 receiving yards on six catches, including one touchdown. Ja’Marr Chase recorded five receptions for 62 yards and caught a touchdown pass with 7:25 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Bengals offense was limited to just 19 plays and two or three possessions in the opening two quarters, marking the lowest first-half production for any game in Joe Burrow’s career.

Cincinnati’s defense forced a three-and-out and a turnover on downs to begin the second half. Linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. recorded an interception during the comeback. The victory snapped a streak of three consecutive AFC North losses for the Bengals and improved their recent record against Baltimore, having lost six of the previous eight regular-season matchups against their division rival.
