The Cincinnati Bengals faced a tough defeat against the Baltimore Ravens, losing 41-38 in overtime despite a strong defensive rotation. The team aimed to improve with the return of Myles Murphy and B.J. Hill, but their defense struggled, allowing 520 yards and the second-most points during the Zac Taylor/Lou Anarumo era.

Defensive adjustments were made, with B.J. Hill leading the defensive line, while Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt remained key players at linebacker. The offense saw Ja'Marr Chase excel with 192 yards and two touchdowns, but the team’s overall performance fell short.
