The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens have one half of their Thanksgiving showdown in the books with the visiting Bengals holding a 12-7 lead at the break, having taken advantage of three Ravens turnovers. While the first 30 minutes were closely contested, Cincinnati could have run away with this contest.

In his return to action from a turf toe injury he suffered in Week 2, Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow has played well, but his offense has settled for field goals, unable to punch the ball into the end zone.

The Bengals opened with a 10-play field goal drive, but the Ravens immediately responded with a touchdown as Derrick Henry broke away from 28 yards out. Lamar Jackson fumbled Baltimore’s next possession inside its own 10-yard line, but the hosts stonewalled Cincinnati from 2 yards out, leading to a turnover on downs. 

Isaiah Likely then fumbled a would-be TD reception from Jackson through the end zone, resulting in a touchback. The Bengals again marched into the red zone but settled for another short field goal. The half ended with Cincinnati pouncing on a Jackson fumble but again settling for three.

Will the Ravens bounce back in the second half and keep their winning streak alive, or will the Bengals continue to roll en route to a key AFC North victory? Follow along for expert analysis and real-time highlights from the game.
