AI Recap
AI RECAPThe Baltimore Ravens held off the Cincinnati Bengals 20-14 on Sunday, taking a Week 7 division showdown in front of their home crowd. It was the kind of grinding, low-margin AFC North football both sides have come to expect from this rivalry. Baltimore never pulled away, but it never trailed late either, and that was enough.
Lamar Jackson threw the game's lone passing touchdown for the Ravens, leaning on a ground game that Derrick Henry powered with 92 rushing yards. Cincinnati, meanwhile, moved the ball through the air more efficiently, with Joe Burrow piling up 276 passing yards and Ja'Marr Chase going for 118 receiving yards on the outside. The Bengals had the explosive plays; what they lacked was the finishing drive. Baltimore's willingness to keep handing it to Henry drained the clock and kept Burrow on the sideline in the closing minutes.
Defensively, Baltimore made the plays that mattered. Roquan Smith led all tacklers with six stops, Jonathan Allen got home for the game's only sack, and Marlon Humphrey came up with the lone interception, a takeaway that swung possession at a critical juncture. That turnover proved to be the difference in a six-point game where every drive carried weight. Cincinnati out-gained Baltimore through the air but couldn't overcome the giveaway.
