Watching Thursday Night Football's Bengals at Ravens game was like watching a Madden NFL Video game. It was insane! And the game lacked defense. In the end Lamar Jackson and the Ravens overcame a fourteen point 3rd quarter deficit to win 35-34.
Jackson threw an unbelievable three touchdown passes in the 4th quarter to lead the Ravens to a win. Oh, and it appeared the Bengals came back to tie the game with :38 but instead of kicking an extra point they went for the win with a two point conversion attempt and failed.
Oh, and there was Ja'Marr Chase! The Bengals receiver hauled in 11 catches for 264 yards and three touchdowns including the Bengals final score in the last minute. Wow!
On the day, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 428 yards and 4 touchdowns and no interceptions in the loss. This is a theme with Burrow and the Bengals. He's lighting up the scoreboard and his defense cannot stop anybody. That is why they are 4-6.
BENGALS AT RAVENS
Meanwhile Lamar Jackson continues to dazzle in Prime Time. He also threw 4 touchdown passes with no interceptions and had 290 yards in the air and 33 yards on the ground. At the halfway point of the season he is the clubhouse leader for NFL MVP. We need more games like the Bengals at Ravens please!
Also at the halfway point of the NFL season it appears the Ravens are the team with the best chance to knock off the KC Chiefs in the AFC.
