The Cincinnati Bengals faced a shocking defeat against the Baltimore Ravens, losing 41-38 in overtime despite leading by 10 points late in the fourth quarter. The game's turning point came when the Bengals opted for conservative play-calling in overtime, frustrating key players like Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

After a crucial fumble recovery by Germaine Pratt, the Bengals had a chance to win but chose to run the ball three times instead of allowing Joe Burrow to throw, despite his impressive performance throughout the game. The decision resulted in a missed 53-yard field goal attempt, leading to the team's disappointment.
