Earlier this season, the Bengals lost to the Ravens 41-38 in overtime. They didn’t want to work overtime on Thursday.

Cincinnati tried to win it under regular rules, but couldn’t. The 2-point conversion failed to give the Ravens a 35-34 victory. Baltimore improved to 7-3 and put a huge dent in Cincinnati’s playoff chances as the Bengals fell to 4-6.

Lamar Jackson threw a 5-yard jump pass to Rashod Bateman for a touchdown with 1:49 left.

The Bengals drove 70 yards in nine plays and drew within one point on Ja’Marr Chase’s 5-yard touchdown catch from Joe Burrow with 38 seconds left. It was Chase’s third touchdown of the night.

The Bengals opted to go for 2, and Burrow’s pass was incomplete, but the officials missed two penalties on the Ravens. Burrow was hit in the head and the Ravens made a clear defensive grab. Neither was called.

The Ravens were assessed 35 yards of penalties on the final drive: a 15-yard facemask penalty for Marlon Humphrey, a 15-yard passer penalty for Broderick Washington and a 5-yard offside penalty for Kyle Van Noy. Officials missed another one.

Ravens defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike, who had three sacks of Burrow, got away with a facemask on the Bengals quarterback with 1:40 left, which should have given the Bengals 15 yards and a first down. However, the Bengals converted on fourth-and-10 with a 10-yard throw from Burrow to Andrei Iosivas, who was reviewed to see if he reached the line to win. The ruling on the field stood.

The Ravens didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until they recovered the onside kick.

Jackson threw for 290 yards and four touchdowns.

The Ravens had just 102 yards in the first half, including 71 passing yards from Jackson, and trailed 14-7 at halftime. Baltimore ended the game with four consecutive touchdown drives, covering 31, 92, 65 and 70 yards, not including a kneel to end the game.

Ravens receiver Tylan Wallace finished with three catches for 115 yards, including an 84-yard score, which was the longest touchdown pass of Jackson’s career.

The Bengals outgained the Ravens 470 to 389, with Burrow going 34 of 56 for 428 yards and four touchdowns. Chase caught 11 passes for 264 yards.
