Studs and Duds from Ravens 38-20 win over the Bengals in Week 11

The Ravens are 8-3 and looking dominant again after Lamar Jackson threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter. Baltimore beat Cincinnati 34-20 Thursday night after the Bengals lost Joe Burrow to a wrist injury.

The win completed a head-to-head sweep of Cincinnati (5-5) and moved to 2 1/2 games ahead of the last-place Bengals.

Burrow wasn’t the only season-ending injury, as Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is expected to miss the rest of the season after hurting an ankle.

With Baltimore looking to get healthy over the mini-bye, we’re looking at the studs and duds from Thursday’s win.
