Joe Burrow, from week 2, leads the Bengals to victory over the Ravens in a comeback

Joe Burrow’s return to the Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t have gone any better, as he helped lead his team to victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving night,

The Bengals moved to 4-8 in that span, while the Ravens, who had won five straight heading into their game Thursday night, fell to 6-6 on the year.

Bengals fans have been patiently waiting for their franchise quarterback to return under center, and the wait was worth it. It took the stream a little to get going, but once he found his rhythm with all the receivers, the Bengals’ vintage offense came out of Baltimore.

It was a field in the story in the first half, albeit derrick henry’s touchdown rundown run on the ravens rap ray. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, criticized for looking lazy and not very explosive even though they won the Win Streak, with problems taking care of the ball at night, leading to three bosses.

Jackson came up on the team’s Team Trave, as he was targeted near the goal line and the Bengals advanced to the two-yard line. The Ravens’ defense, however, picked up the slack, forcing turnovers on downs despite good return field position and company.

However, the one who really hurt the Ravens was running back Isaiah, who rushed for 43 yards and looked like he was going to fight his way to a 14-6 lead. But he caught the ball just before it broke the plane, and got out of the end zone.

The result? No points and no touchdowns for the Bengals to take over, where they would eventually take a 9-7 lead after Evan McPherson made his third field goal of the night.

It turned out a 9-7 lead could be a mark in time, but on the first play of the Ravens drive, Jackson could not keep the ball in his hand after starting to slow down but kicking goals with 10 seconds to the right.

The second half was when the Bengals began to turn it well, and it was on their first drive that the burrow went 10 tanners, to get a tanner tanner yard to start increasing the gap.

Jagson answered, however, as Keaton Mitchell found a seam and broke off an 18-yard touchdown to make it a 19-14 game. But the generality of the North in the North war between these two rivals means that you can never get too comfortable, even after a big score.

Andre IOSIVAS, who was quiet in the game at the time, caught a deep pass from a 29-yard run down the stretch as the Ravens began to press in the fourth quarter.

The Bengals defense, however, is statistically the worst in the NFL in terms of YAKAs. That meant the Ravens were definitely out of it with 15 minutes left.

But again, holding on to the ball was a big problem. Jackson threw an interception at Cincinnati’s Eight-Yard Line on the pass to Mark Andrews. After that, they turned the ball over with eight minutes left in the quarter and 29-14.

There was some hope, however, when Bengals running back Samaje Perine came up short on what should have been a game-tying drive at the Baltimore 12-Yard Line. But the Crows returned the favor five laps later, as zay flowers advanced near the Midfield posts as the Crows tried to drive down the field to make it a one game point.
