In a nail-biting finish, the Cincinnati Bengals fell to the Baltimore Ravens 35-34, despite a valiant effort from quarterback Joe Burrow, who threw for 428 yards and four touchdowns. The Bengals, leading 21-7 in the third quarter, opted for a two-point conversion instead of an extra point after scoring late in the game, but Burrow's pass was incomplete, sealing their fate.

Burrow expressed disappointment over missed officiating calls, including a potential defensive holding on tight end Mike Gesicki and a late hit on him that went unpenalized. Despite the loss, Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase showcased impressive performances, with Chase setting an NFL record for receiving yards in two games against Baltimore this season.
