CINCINNATI — It's an AFC North battle in The Jungle.

The Cincinnati Bengals are hosting the Baltimore Ravens in Paycor Stadium for their first divisional matchup of the season.

Ravens, 21 | Bengals, 24

Following the Bengals explosive opening drive of the second half, the Ravens returned the favor with a 1-yard touchdown from Lamar Jackson to Isaiah Likely.

After a 39-yard pass from Joe Burrow to Andrei Iosivas to get first and goal, Burrow connected with Tee Higgins for a 5-yard touchdown pass. The touchdown was Higgins' second of the day.

Cincinnati offensive tackle Amarius Mims was carted off the field in the third quarter with an apparent ankle injury. Cody Ford replaced Mims on the field.

In an explosive last-minute drive of the half, Joe Burrow dropped back in the pocket and took a big hit, but it paid off. He connected with Ja'Marr Chase for a 41-yard touchdown. Running back Chase Brown then ran in a successful two-point conversion.

After a near-perfect punt from Cincinnati punter Ryan Rehkow, Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard tackled Derrick Henry in the end zone, causing a safety. It was Cincinnati's first safety in 75 games.

After rolling out of the pocket, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson hit receiver Rashod Bateman for a 16-yard touchdown pass.

Joe Burrow hit Tee Higgins with an 11-yard pass for the Bengals' first touchdown of the game. The touchdown was Higgins' first of the season.

Bengals corner Dax Hill has been ruled OUT for the rest of the game after heading to the locker room in the first quarter. The Bengals said Hill has a right knee injury.

After the Bengals were forced to punt on their first drive of the day, Cincinnati's defense stepped up and stopped the Ravens offense. Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson was sacked by Cincinnati defensive end Sam Hubbard, and then corner Cam Taylor-Britt denied Ravens receiver Zay Flowers a reception that would've converted for the Ravens.

The Ravens struck first, scoring on their opening drive with a 1-yard Derrick Henry touchdown. The touchdown was Henry's 100th career touchdown.

The Bengals (1-3) are looking to capitalize off their 34-24 win over the Carolina Panthers last week. The Ravens (2-2) are hoping to extend their win streak to three victories after back-to-back wins over the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills.

Cincinnati's defense is bolstered this week by the returning defensive tackle B.J. Hill who missed two games due to a hamstring injury. Fellow defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, who also injured himself in the same game as Hill, is still inactive in the Week 5 matchup. The Bengals will also have to function without corner Mike Hilton, who didn't practice all week due to a knee injury. Earlier this week, the Bengals elevated corner Jalen Davis from the practice squad. Trey Hendrickson, who dealt with a neck stinger this past week, is also active to play against the Ravens.
