Thursday Night Football: Bengals vs. Ravens score, highlights, news, inactives and live updates

For the first time since Week 2, Thursday Night Football promises to be a truly exciting and competitive game.

It’s true! The Cincinnati Bengals play the Baltimore Ravens in the beautiful Crab State (which must be Maryland’s nickname) and those are two playoff teams.

Finding their footing after a rough start, the Bengals lost back-to-back games to CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans in Week 10.

QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja’Marr Chase are a strong duo again after Chase suffered a back injury last week.
But their defense couldn’t stop Stroud, a legitimate MVP candidate.

Cincy’s 30-27 loss wasn’t sealed until the final seconds of the game when Texas’ Matt Ammendola kicked his third field goal of the day.

The Ravens lost to the Cleveland Browns in Week 10, even by a field goal.
However, unlike the Bengals, the Ravens led the Browns all game until the final minute.

In fact, they led 24-9 a few minutes into the second half, but fell short in the fourth quarter, giving up 16 points.

Baltimore’s 31-30 lead was blown by a field goal in the final minute, and they lost 33-31.

Both teams will be eager to prove that these losses are just minor bumps in the road for a playoff spot. But there is only one team that will emerge with a victory that will reassure the fans.
