Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow Balled Out During Their TNF Showdown

The Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals delivered high drama during their Week 10 Thursday Night Football showdown. The Bengals came back from a 21-7 deficit to defeat the Bengals by one point, 35-34, earning them their seventh win in ten games.

That close battle wouldn’t have been possible without the splendid performances of Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. Despite the bitter defeat, Burrow completed 34 passes for 428 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions.

Burrow completed his first touchdown pass to Tanner Hudson, giving them a 14-7 advantage. In the third quarter, he connected with Ja’Marr Chase for a 67-yard touchdown pass. He found Chase for two more touchdowns, including the pass that trimmed Baltimore’s lead to one. Unfortunately, Burrow and Chase failed to connect on a two-point conversion that could have given them the victory.

Meanwhile, Jackson made another strong case for becoming this season’s Most Valuable Player. He finished with 25 completions for 290 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Those scoring throws give him 24 touchdowns, tying his total from last season.

The victory gave Jackson and the Ravens a season sweep against the Bengals, who dropped to 4-6. Baltimore will move from one division rival to another as they face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Conversely, the Bengals will face the Los Angeles Chargers.
