Thursday Night Football: Ravens trail Bengals 14-7 at halftime and S Kyle Hamilton injures his ankle

The Ravens trail the Bengals 14-7 at halftime — the first time since Week 18 of the 2022 season that they’ve trailed by more than three points at halftime — but they may have a bigger concern.

With 1:09 left in the first half, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton’s right foot came down on the foot of Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki. His legs gave out. Hamilton staggered to the sideline and eventually to the X-ray room.

The Ravens list Hamilton as questionable to return with an ankle injury.

The All-Pro has four tackles and two pass breakups tonight.

The Bengals scored on their first drive of the first half and their last drive of the first half. Chase Brown scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to complete a 12-play, 70-yard drive, and Joe Burrow threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Tanner Hudson to complete a 10-play, 73-yard drive to complete.

The Bengals got lucky on both touchdown drives on plays involving Ravens defensive back Brandon Stephens.

Stephen was called for defensive holding on a fourth-down play, giving the Bengals another set of downs from the Baltimore 1, and Brown scored on the next play. Stephens intercepted Burrow in the end zone with 1:01 left in the half, but replay rendered the play incomplete when Stephens failed to get both feet in bounds before going out of bounds. Hudson scored three plays later.

The Bengals have outscored the Ravens 196 to 102, with Burrow going 17 of 29 for 161 yards and a touchdown. Chase has caught four passes for 52 yards and Hudson four for 28. Brown has 13 touches for 55 yards.

Khalil Herbert, acquired in a trade this week, failed to secure Burrow’s handoff with his one touch, but recovered the fumble credited to Burrow.

Ravens defensive lineman NNamdi Madubuike has two sacks of Burrow.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has completed 10 of 14 passes, but for just 71 yards. He threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor. The Ravens gained 59 yards on their scoring drive and only 43 on the other four.

Ravens running back Derrick Henry has six carries for 22 yards, and tight end Mark Andrews has three catches for 34 yards.

The Ravens only had the ball at 10:35.
