Overview
- The Bengals trailed 13-0 at halftime but scored 35 unanswered points to beat the Ravens 35-13, a rare comeback that improved Cincinnati to 4-2.
- Joe Burrow threw four second-half touchdown passes, posted a 158.3 passer rating in the period, and was named the NFL's AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
- Cincinnati sustained significant injuries in the win with tight end Erick All Jr. suffering a season-ending torn ACL and safety Kyle Dugger listed week-to-week.
- Wednesday practice reports showed starters being rested for Cincinnati, including Ja'Marr Chase and Jonathan Allen not practicing, while the Titans listed multiple non-participants as they enter the game 1-6.
