Lamar Jackson inspires Ravens to comeback win over Bengals

Lamar Jackson starred as the Baltimore Ravens rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit to a 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in a wild Thursday night contest.

Jackson led four consecutive touchdown drives in the second half to help his side to their seventh victory in eight games.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow went 34-for-56 for 428 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those scoring passes went to Ja'Marr Chase, who finished with 11 catches for 264 yards. Chase's final catch nearly gave the Bengals a stunning victory.

After Jackson hit Rashod Bateman with a five-yard scoring pass to give Baltimore a 35-28 lead with 1:49 to play, Burrow drove the Bengals 70 yards in 71seconds, connecting with Chase for a five-yard score with 38 seconds left in regulation to make it 35-34.

Following a timeout after the touchdown, the Bengals decided to go for two points and the win.

However, Burrow's throw to Tanner Hudson was just out of reach at the goal line. Burrow was struck in the facemask by a Ravens defender on the play, but no penalty was called.

Cincinnati (4-6) then attempted an onside kick, but Ravens tight end Mark Andrews recovered the kick to seal the Baltimore victory.
