At halftime of the Week 5 edition of “Sunday Night Football,” the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals are tied 10-10.
Things got off to a bit of a slow start, with four of the first five possession of the game resulting in punts. Things picked up in the second quarter, with Lamar Jackson finding Mark Andrews for an 11-yard touchdown pass at the tail end of a seven-play, 50-yard drive to stake the Ravens to a 10-point lead. Baltimore had a chance to extend things even further later in the quarter, but Jackson’s pass intended for Demarcus Robinson sailed high and was interception by Vonn Bell. That’s when the Bengals seemingly came alive.
Joe Burrow led a seven-play, 83-yard touchdown drive that was capped off by a Hayden Hurst touchdown grab. (Hurst, remember, was originally selected 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 ensuing possession, and Burrow quickly moved the Bengals down the field and into field goal range despite both Tee Higgins and Jonah Williams exiting the lineup due to injuries.
Which of these AFC North rivals will ultimately come away victorious? We’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, keep it locked to our live blog throughout the rest of the evening as we update you with stats, scores, and highlights.
