Ravens Surrender 13-0 Halftime Lead, Lose 35-13 to Bengals

This defeat leaves Baltimore 4-3, last in the AFC North, and raises urgent questions about the team’s ability to finish games.

Overview

  • Baltimore led 13-0 at halftime but failed to score in the second half as Cincinnati put up 35 unanswered points to win 35-13.
  • The loss is the Ravens’ second straight and drops the team to 4-3, moving them to the bottom of the AFC North standings.
  • Veteran defensive end Calais Campbell said the locker room “hurts more than anything” and urged teammates to reset, study tape, and return to work.
  • The team is awaiting the possible return of quarterback Lamar Jackson from an ankle injury after he missed the prior three games, a development that could change the offense’s outlook.
  • This defeat fits a larger pattern: Baltimore has lost 18 games since 2018 after holding a double-digit second-half lead, a trend that worsens pressure on coaching, game management, and the team’s playoff chances.
