Prepare for a thrilling and fiercely competitive game of Thursday Night Football, marking the first truly exciting matchup since Week 2.
Yes, that’s right! The Cincinnati Bengals are set to face off against the Baltimore Ravens in Maryland, the beautiful Crab State (at least that’s what Maryland’s nickname should be). Both teams are of playoff caliber and have something to prove after experiencing remarkably similar walk-off losses that left fans disappointed.
The Bengals, who have bounced back after a rough start, suffered a back-and-forth loss to C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans in Week 10. Quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase showcased their powerful chemistry once again, but their defense couldn’t contain MVP candidate Stroud. The Bengals’ 30-27 loss came down to the final seconds, with Texans kicker Matt Ammendola sealing the win with his third field goal of the day.
In Week 10, the Ravens also experienced a walk-off loss, falling to the Cleveland Browns in the closing seconds. Despite leading the entire game, Baltimore crumbled in the fourth quarter, allowing Cleveland to score 16 points and claim a 33-31 victory. With a 24-9 lead early in the second half, the Ravens ultimately lost in a heartbreaking fashion.
Both teams are determined to show that these losses were merely minor setbacks on their path to the playoffs, but only one team will emerge with that much-needed confidence-boosting win.
