The Baltimore Ravens topped the Cincinnati Bengals with a decisive 31-13 victory in Week 5 of the 2027 season. This win was crucial for the Ravens as they seek to solidify their standing in the competitive AFC North. The Bengals, coming off a strong start to the season, faced a tough challenge that ultimately exposed their weaknesses. Derrick Henry led the Ravens' ground attack with an impressive 101 rushing yards, showcasing his power and agility. Quarterback Lamar Jackson contributed significantly to the offensive effort, providing key plays that kept the Bengals' defense on their heels. Joe Burrow, despite the loss, threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns, with Tee Higgins emerging as a reliable target, racking up 102 receiving yards. Defensively, the Ravens were able to disrupt Burrow's rhythm, with Mike Green recording a pivotal sack that halted a promising Bengals drive.
