A sleepy Baltimore Ravens offense woke up big time in the second half.
Ignited by Roquan Smith recovery of a Chase Brown fumble, Baltimore scored 21 straight points to turn a 21-7 deficit into a 28-21 lead in the fourth quarter.
The touchdown that gave Baltimore the lead came on a pass from Lamar Jackson to a wide-open Mark Andrews.

The play was good for 18 yards. The Ravens went for two points after the TD because Justin Tucker had missed the PAT after their prior touchdown.
Jackson simply took the football around the end and Baltimore led by seven with less than six minutes left.
The Ravens’ lead lasted all of 13 seconds.
Joe Burrow went deep to Ja’Marr Chase and the receiver caught the ball and took his time before crossing the goal line.

Chase had 238 receiving yards after that catch.
The Bengals had two scoring drives of one play each that covered 137 yards, both on passes from Burrow to Chase.
