Lamar Jackson botched the snap on Baltimore’s opening possession in overtime, allowing Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt to pick it up and sprint a few yards. Cincinnati believed they were primed to win the game in overtime.
But following a poor snap, Evan McPherson missed a 53-yard field goal. It took Baltimore just two plays to take advantage.
Derrick Henry received the ball from Jackson, and the fearsome running back took it from there. Henry gained the ball at the Bengals’ 6-yard line after running 51 yards. After that, Tucker made the game-winning 24-yard field goal.
Jackson went 26-of-42 passing for 348 yards. In the victory, he completed four touchdown passes. Isaiah Likely had two receptions for touchdowns. Both Rashod Bateman and Charlie Kolar made touchdown catches. Jackson added 55 more yards of running.
Henry had 15 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown, leading Baltimore. Zay Flowers totaled 111 yards on seven catches.
Joe Burrow, the quarterback for the Bengals, had one of his greatest outings of the year. He completed 30 of 39 passes for 392 yards and five touchdowns. Chase Brown caught an additional touchdown, while Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase each got two touchdowns.
