The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Baltimore Ravens 14-32 on Thursday, November 27 in the NFL’s final Thanksgiving Day game of the season on a thankless night for Lamar Jackson and company.
The Ravens (6-6) were coming off a five-game winning streak, while the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8), who got quarterback Joe Burrow back, were on a four-game losing streak. Burrow, back from surgery on September 19, closed the game by completing 24 of 46 passes for 261 yards. Two of his passes ended in touchdowns.
Mistakes sink Baltimore: Jackson loses three fumbles
Lamar Jackson, meanwhile, lost three fumbles, including an interception.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback closed with 17 of 32 passes completed for 246 yards, without generating any touchdowns.
In all, the Ravens had five turnovers and were riddled with mistakes, such as when Isaiah Likely lost a fumble just inches from the goal line in the second quarter.
On their side, the Cincinnati Bengals played a very solid game, highlighting Tanner Hudson’s touchdown in the third quarter with a spectacular one-handed reception on a pass from Joe Burrow.
Defeat complicates Baltimore in the AFC North
With the loss, the Baltimore Ravens make life difficult for themselves in the North Division of the National Conference.
They could be overtaken by the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of Week 13.
The Baltimore Ravens’ duel closed out the NFL’s traditional Thanksgiving holiday.
It had started early with the Green Bay Packers’ 24-31 win over the Lions in Detroit and continued with the Dallas Cowboys’ classic 31-28 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, now on a losing streak.
