The Baltimore Ravens needed a clutch drive in the final minutes to avoid another loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and a 2-3 start to the season.
Lamar Jackson led the Ravens into field goal range, with the key play coming on an 18-yard run that not many quarterbacks can make. That got the Ravens into range for Justin Tucker. Tucker hit a 43-yard field goal as time expired for the 19-17 win that will be enormous in the AFC North race. It was right down the middle, as most of Tucker's kicks are.
It was clear early on Sunday night that there would be no blowout this time. It was a close, hard-fought game from the outset. The Ravens took a 16-10 lead not long after the Bengals left points on the board. And ironically enough for John Harbaugh, who was criticized for going for it on fourth-and-goal last week against the Buffalo Bills, perhaps the Ravens should have gone for it instead of kicking the field goal. He could have gone for it on fourth-and-1 at the Bengals' 3-yard line, but took a delay of game penalty and kicked the field goal.
