Baltimore has the advantage over the Bengals in the regular-season series. The Bengals are 17-12 ahead of Baltimore.

The Bengals could sweep the season series, for the first since 2021. The last time these teams met was on Thanksgiving, when Cincinnati won 32-14 and ended Baltimore’s 5-game winning streak. The Ravens’ chances were severely hurt by their season-high of five turnovers.

Joe Burrow, the Bengals’ quarterback, returned to action after nine games of absence due to toe surgery. Burrow’s performance (24 for 46 yards, 261 yard, two touchdowns), which improved as the game went on, was a big factor in Cincinnati pulling away from Baltimore after a 12-7 lead at halftime. Baltimore scored touchdowns through Derrick Henry (60 yards on 10 carries) and Keaton Mitchel (19 yards on two carries).
