Bengals Take Early Lead, Ravens Struggle to Respond
The Cincinnati Bengals are off to a strong start against the Baltimore Ravens, leading 14-7 at the half. The Bengals' offense, led by Joe Burrow, has been efficient, moving the ball with ease against a surprisingly porous Ravens defense.
Burrow has been particularly impressive, throwing for 150 yards and a touchdown, connecting with Ja'Marr Chase for a 50-yard bomb in the first quarter. The Bengals' rushing attack has also been effective, with Joe Mixon averaging 5.5 yards per carry.
The Ravens, on the other hand, have struggled to find their offensive rhythm. Lamar Jackson has been somewhat contained by the Bengals' defense, throwing for just 100 yards and one touchdown. The Ravens have also struggled to run the ball effectively, with J.K. Dobbins averaging only 3.2 yards per carry.
