CINCINNATI — — Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow traded touchdown throws all afternoon. It took a big run and a chip shot in overtime to settle a wild game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals.

After Derrick Henry fumbled for 51 yards to put the Ravens at the Bengals 6, Justin Tucker kicked a 24-yard field goal to lift Baltimore to a 41-38 victory on Sunday.

Tucker kicked a 56-yarder with 1:35 left in regulation to tie a game with over 700 yards passing and nine touchdown passes.

“It was a shootout, a straight shootout in the second half,” Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. “That’s a great win against a team that played at a high level.”

Tucker’s game-winning field goal came after Evan McPherson missed a 53-yard attempt for Cincinnati on a fumble. That gave Baltimore the ball at its own 43. And on the next play, Henry had his big run for the Ravens (3-2).

The Bengals (1-4) led by 10 points three times in the second half, but Jackson brought the Ravens back each time.

Burrow’s screen goes to Ja’Marr Chase turned into a 70-yard touchdown romp that gave the Bengals a 38-28 lead with 8:54 left.

The Ravens answered with an 11-play, 70-yard drive that maxed out at 70 yards an improbable 6-yard TD pass to Jackson’s Isaiah Livelywho dropped and picked up the shotgun snap before scrambling and stiff-arming Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard before letting loose with the pass.

“He was ready, don’t panic,” Henry said of Jackson.

Burrow was intercepted on the next drive and the Bengals stalled on their final possession, setting up Tucker for the tying field goal.

After Jackson lost a fumble in overtime, McPherson looked poised to win it for the Bengals in OT. But holder Ryan Rehkow fumbled the snap and McPherson pulled his kick wide left.

“Whether he drops it or it’s perfect, I feel like I have to make every kick,” McPherson said.

Jackson was 26 for 42 for 348 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for another 55 yards. He threw TD passes of 1 yard and 6 yards to Lively.

Burrow finished 30 of 39 for 392 yards and five touchdowns in his career, including two each to Chase and Tee Higgins. Chase led the Bengals with 10 catches for 193 yards, and Higgins had nine grabs for 83 yards.

“Perfect was what was needed, and that’s not what we did,” Burrow said.

“This one – sickening. Really,” Bengals running back Chase Brown said. “That’s my last thought about what happened there.”

Henry gets his moment

Henry, who was great in his first season with the Ravens, was virtually neutralized by the Bengals defense, at least until the penultimate play of the game.

He had and was 14 carries for 41 yards stopped in the end zone for a safety in the second quarter. Then he broke away for the 51-yard run in overtime to set up the winning field goal.

“Green grass,” Henry said when asked what he saw after the transfer. “Green grass and trying to get as close to the end zone as possible.”

He finished with a respectable 92 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter.
