The Baltimore Ravens improved to 8-3 on the season and will have ten days of rest before traveling to Los Angeles to play Justin Herbert and the Chargers after a 34-20 win over the Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 318+ yards and two touchdowns as the Ravens offense exploded on the ground and through the air for over 400+ total yards, and Todd Monken’s best game as offensive coordinator.
Baltimore was able to reverse the time of possession, maintaining the football for nine more minutes while going 3-4 in the red zone.
With the team off for the next ten days, here’s an instant analysis of the Ravens’ huge home win.
Jake Browning replaces Burrow
Browning was 8-14 for 68 yards and one passing touchdown in relief of an injured Joe Burrow.
Gus Edwards
Edwards ran like a bus on the night, logging 12 carries for 62 yards and two more rushing touchdowns.
