Despite Cincinnati’s last drive, this was also a win for the Ravens’ defense.
The Bengals started out with quick throws, trying to minimize the Ravens’ chances of exploiting their threadbare offensive line. But as soon as they faced a third down, Campbell stormed up the middle to hit Burrow and force an incompletion.
Cincinnati faced third-and-12 on its next possession, and this time, Jason Pierre-Paul beat his blocker one-on-one for his first sack as a Raven. A blitzing Josh Bynes leveled Burrow to set up another three-and-out the fourth time the Bengals had the ball.
