Four Takeaways From Cincinnati Bengals' 41-38 Overtime Loss to Baltimore Ravens. Cincinnati is 1-4 on the season following an inexcusable loss to their AFC North rivals.
Cincinnati is 1-4 for the first time since 2007. They went winless in their first five games in 2008 and 2019, but this is by far the worst start of the Joe Burrow era.Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase are the Bengals' two best players. Over the past three years, I've said the line "doubt Joe and Ja'Marr at your own risk."
For most of the game, they did exactly that. Burrow completed 30-of-39 passes for 392 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. Chase finished with 10 catches for 193 yards and two scores. The 10 receptions and two touchdowns were both the most he's had against Baltimore.Their two best players have been awesome.
The Bengals have lost four games by a total of 15 points. From not being able to score against the Patriots to Daijahn Anthony's unfortunate penalty, to not being able to stop Jayden Daniels and now aAs bad as the defense was, they found a way to hold Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to a field goal with 1:35 left in the fourth quarter. They recovered Jackson's bobbled snap to put the Bengals in position to win.
Sunday was a major swing game. If they found a way to win, it could've been a season-defining victory. Instead, it's a deflating loss that's going to be tough to overcome—especially for a team that entered the season with championship aspirations.Bengals head coach Zac Taylor opted to run the ball three-straight times from the Ravens 38-yard line in overtime, which included one pass play that Burrow checked to a run because he didn't like the look.
