The Baltimore Ravens were in Cincinnati to take on their AFC North rival in the Bengals at Paycor Stadium Sunday afternoon. Baltimore was coming off a Week 1 win over the Houston Texans.
Running back Guys Edwards got it started for the Ravens, scoring the lone points of the first quarter on a one-yard touchdown run. After Cincinnati scored on a 81-yard punt return touchdown to tie the game at 7 in the second quarter, the two teams exchanged field goals. Justin Tucker kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired in the half to give the Ravens a 13-10 lead.
Lamar Jackson threw his first touchdown pass of the game in the third, a three-yard pass to tight end Mark Andrews, and Baltimore went up 20-10. Bengals wide reciever would score twice in the second half, including a touchdown to close the gap to 20-17 with 2:34 left, but Jackson’s second touchdown pass of the game, a 17-yarder to Nelson Aghalor, would be the difference.
Baltimore won the game by the 20-17 final score, improving to 2-0 on the season. They will host the winless Indianapolis Colts next Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET.
