The turning point came when Cincinnati, leading by 14, fumbled in the third quarter. The Ravens took advantage, and Jackson orchestrated a quick scoring drive that ended in Derrick Henry’s one-yard touchdown run, bringing Baltimore back into the game. The Ravens then inched closer when Tylan Wallace took a short pass and sprinted 84 yards to the end zone, barely avoiding a tackle. Although Justin Tucker missed the extra point, Baltimore was within one.
The game reached its peak in the final minutes. After Jackson connected with tight end Mark Andrews for an 18-yard touchdown, he kept the momentum going by running in a two-point conversion himself. Not to be outdone, Burrow fired a deep pass to Chase, tying the game at 28 with just over five minutes left. But Jackson wasn't finished. With just under two minutes remaining, he found Rashod Bateman for a 5-yard touchdown pass, putting the Ravens back on top 35-28.
In the last seconds, Burrow brought the Bengals within a point with a touchdown pass to Chase. The Bengals made a gutsy call to go for a two-point conversion and the win instead of an extra point to tie. Burrow's pass, however, sailed high, sealing the Ravens’ victory. Jackson finished with 290 passing yards and four touchdowns, while Burrow threw for 428 yards and matched Jackson's four TDs.
Despite a tough night with missed opportunities, missed calls, and an injured Kyle Hamilton, the Ravens managed 231 of their 389 yards in the final quarter, a testament to Jackson's ability to step up when it counts. This game leaves the Ravens at 7-3, while the Bengals fall to 4-6, facing tough questions as they try to recover. For Jackson and the Ravens, the thrilling win solidified them as a force to be reckoned with in the AFC North, showing they have the determination and firepower to overcome challenges and seize victory in even the most challenging games.
