BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson completed 25 of 33 passes for 290 yards and four touchdowns while rallying the Baltimore Ravens from a 14-point second-half deficit to a 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday.
Jackson led four consecutive touchdown drives in the second half to help the Ravens (7-3) win for the seventh time in eight games.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow went 34-for-56 for 428 yards and four touchdowns. His final TD toss was a 5-yarder to Ja’Marr Chase with 38 seconds to play, cutting the deficit to one point. The Bengals (4-6) went for the two-point conversion for the win, but Burrow’s pass for Tanner Hudson fell incomplete.
Chase caught touchdown passes of 67, 70 and 5 yards and finished with 11 catches for 264 yards.
A third-quarter fumble by the Bengals’ Chase Brown with Cincinnati ahead by 14 changed the momentum of the game.
Baltimore scored the next 21 points to grab a 28-21 lead with 5:50 to go in the game.
Marlon Humphrey forced the Brown fumble with seven minutes left in the third, and Roquan Smith recovered at the Cincinnati 31.
With the ball at the Bengals 21, Jackson raced over to the right side in the backfield for several seconds before taking off down the sideline, ultimately getting to the 1-yard line. Derrick Henry ran it in for the touchdown on the ensuing play.
On Baltimore’s next drive, Jackson completed a pass on the near sideline to Tylan Wallace. Three Bengals then missed tackles, including linebacker Logan Wilson who shoved Wallace down the sideline on his way for an 84-yard touchdown. A missed extra point left Baltimore behind 28-21 with 13:30 to go in the fourth quarter.
Jackson found Mark Andrews for an 18-yard touchdown, and Jackson’s two-point rush put Baltimore up 28-21 with 5:50 to go.
Burrow hit Chase in stride for a 70-yard touchdown down the middle of the field on Cincinnati’s next play from scrimmage to tied the game 28-28.
The Ravens sustained a key defensive loss late in the second quarter when safety Kyle Hamilton turned his right ankle on a non-contact play. Burrow subsequently was picked off by Brandon Stephens in the end zone, but the interception was overturned by replay. Three plays later, Burrow found Hudson for a 3-yard score and a 14-7 halftime lead.
