The Bengals had lost five consecutive games to the Ravens, and their best performance in their last three matchups was a 24-point loss at home in 2020.

It didn’t look promising for the Bengals when the Ravens opened up the second half with a quick score on three passes, including a gorgeous 39-yard rainbow from quarterback Lamar Jackson to wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in the back of the end zone to retake the lead at 17-13.

From this point forward, quarterback Joe Burrow, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, and the Bengals defense mashed the Ravens into lumped crab meat.

The Ravens did not score another point on the stout Bengals defense that entered the game ranked fifth in defense DVOA, per Football Outsiders.

Raise your hand if you thought the Chiefs’ offense was in trouble when they went into halftime tied 10-10 against Washington, and you then felt silly when they scored 21 unanswered points in the second half.

They didn’t throw an incomplete pass until just under nine minutes remaining in the second quarter and had scored 24 points with three minutes remaining in the first half.

But this is the Chiefs, a superhero offense that can leap 20-point deficits in a single bound, especially when their defense shuts out their opponent in the second half.

Poorly timed penalties killed the Chiefs throughout the game, especially in the second half, as they lost 27-3, dropping them to a 3-4 record on the season.

Towards the end of a slippery second quarter, the Colts recovered a fumble at the 49ers’ 47-yard-line.
