The AFC North has established itself as one of the best divisions in the conference, with virtually every divisional game between fierce rivals.

Such a clash is set to take place in the DMV between Baltimore (6-3) and the Bengals (4-5) to kick off Week 10 Thursday night. It’s an intriguing matchup featuring two of the league’s premier quarterbacks, and the stakes are high for both teams, with the Ravens fighting for first in the division and Cincinnati toeing the line of a .500 record on the edge of the playoff scene.

Lamar Jackson will make his second-straight appearance at home after dismantling Bo Nix’s Broncos last week, 41-10. The two-time NFL MVP posted his fourth career perfect passer rating, tying Steelers great Ben Roethlisberger for most all-time. 

Running back Derrick Henry, receiver Zay Flowers, and fullback Patrick Ricard combined for five touchdowns — two on the ground and three through the air — and the Ravens’ defense held the Broncos to just 122 yards rushing and under 200 yards passing. Notably, Denver ranks seventh in the NFL in passing yards per game, with 236.3 on average.

The Bengals are also coming off a dominant win, besting Las Vegas 41-24 thanks to a big performance from Joe Burrow. The quarterback threw five touchdowns, tying his most ever in a game, and sealed Cincinnati’s first home win of the season. 

Burrow’s main weapon of choice in the matchup was running back Chase Brown, who notched 157 yards of total offense on 27 carries and five receptions, scoring one touchdown through the air. Cincinnati’s defense recovered two fumbles and kept the Raiders at 60 rushing yards, less than half of the Bengals’ ground total.

Now, the two elite arms will face off for the fifth time, a rematch of Week 5’s overtime duel where Jackson came out on top despite a career performance from his opponent. Burrow looks to seal his second win against the Baltimore quarterback, but it will be more than just him who needs to step up. Here’s everything to know about Bengals vs. Ravens, including the live score, updates, and highlights from “Thursday Night Football.”

Bengals vs. Ravens live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ game

(All times ET)

First quarter

8:48 p.m. — TURNOVER ON DOWNS. Burrow can’t find Burton up the right sideline, and the Ravens will regain possession at their own 41 with 2:56 to work with in the first.

8:46 p.m. — Brown takes yet another handoff for seven, then Burrow tries to find Iosivas deep around the 30, but he can’t pull it in. Facing third-and-3, Burrow scrambles out of the pocket and looks for Gesicki past the marker, but Hamilton covers him well and he can’t pull it in.

8:44 p.m. — Gesicki pulls one in for nine, bringing up second-and-11. Then, Burrow finds Hudson at the 45 for nine more. On third-and-2, Chase earns a first down with a seven-yard catch on the left sideline to the Baltimore 48.

8:42 p.m. — Brown gains seven for Cincinnati on the ground before taking it again for seven more. A flag is thrown on the second run on the Bengals’ Karras for holding, however, setting up first-and-long from the 27.

8:39 p.m. — Cincinnati takes its first timeout of the half with 7:44 remaining, then Chase is held by Wiggins on the play out of the break. He’s called for pass interference, and the Bengals take possession at their own 23 with a fresh set of downs.

8:37 p.m. — RAVENS PUNT. The first drive does not go as planned for Harbaugh and Jackson, as Baltimore goes three-and-out, and Stout boots it 54 yards to the Bengals 10. Burrow’s first two passes are incomplete to Sample and Gesicki, bringing up third-and-10.

8:35 p.m. — Jackson’s first shot goes deep down the right sideline for Bateman, but he’s well covered by Taylor-Britt who gets a hand on the ball to knock it out. Henry gets the first handoff of the drive for six before Hill takes a carry for no gain, bringing up fourth-and-3 from the Ravens 37.

8:35 p.m. — McPherson kicks it through the end zone for a touchback, and Jackson will start things off from his own 30.

Bengals 7, Ravens 0

8:31 p.m. — BENGALS PUNCH ONE IN! Cincinnati capitalizes on the penalty and gets six thanks to a one-yard run from Brown, marking his third straight game with a score. McPherson nails the XP, and the Bengals lead 7-0 with 9:23 in the quarter to go.

8:29 p.m. — Under pressure, Burrow scrambles then throws it away to bring up fourth down. HC Zac Taylor elects to go for it and Burrow faces pressure again before missing Brown in the end zone. However, a flag is thrown on the Ravens for defensive holding, giving the Bengals a fresh set of downs.

8:27 p.m. — Burrow tries to find Chase in the end zone after the break but misses, then Baltimore takes its second timeout of the half just 5:20 into the game with third-and-goal from the two for Cincinnati.

8:25 p.m. — Harbaugh draws the challenge flag after a replay shows Gesicki may have not had control of the football before he was ruled down. It’s an odd challenge considering how much time remains on the clock, with little reward for a lot of risk.

The 3-yard play is confirmed, and the Ravens lose a timeout on a questionable decision by Harbaugh.

8:23 p.m. — Iosivas makes his first reception of the game at the Baltimore five, setting up first-and-goal. Burrow fires toward the left sideline to Gesicki for three yards to the two before second-and-goal.

8:21 p.m. — Burrow saves the drive, scrambling out of the pocket and firing one deep to Chase for a 26-yard gain into Ravens territory. Then, Brown takes it for two before powering forward for four more to set up third-and-4.

8:20 p.m. — Brown takes a handoff but only gets two before he’s stuffed by the Ravens defense. Burrow then tries to find Burton just over the 50, but he’s well covered by Humphrey who knocks it away. It’s third-and-9 from the 44.

8:18 p.m. — Tucker boots it for a touchback and Burrow starts from the Bengals 30. Brown makes the first reception of the game for a seven-yard gain, then Burrow hits Chase up the middle for a first down at the 43.

8:17 p.m. — The Bengals call tails and it’s heads. The Ravens defer and Cincinnati will receive to start the game.

Pregame

8:15 p.m. — M&T Bank bathed in purple for player intros, and we are just a few minutes away from kickoff in Baltimore. Tune in on Amazon Prime and follow along for updates.

8:10 p.m. — In a couple last personnel updates before kickoff, LT Orlando Brown Jr. will be replaced by Cody Ford, and DT BJ Hill will play as well for the Bengals.

7:50 p.m. — In what could be considered a Color Rush revival, the Ravens will debut their new alternate “Purple Rising” uniforms tonight. It is the first time the franchise will don purple helmets in a game.

7:35 p.m. — Another addition for Baltimore before the deadline was WR Diontae Johnson from Carolina. Johnson was traded with a 6th-round pick for a Ravens’ fifth-rounder, putting yet another target on the field for Jackson.

Because of how recently he arrived, it’s likely the sixth-year veteran—who spent his first five seasons with the Steelers—won’t see many targets along with Herbert.

7:20 p.m. — In other personnel news, RB Khalil Herbert will make his debut for Cincinnati after arriving Tuesday to fill in for the injured Zack Moss. 

Herbert played for three full seasons with the Bears and six games this season, though his use was minimal with RBs D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson in the backfield. Though he will face minimal snaps, Burrow has emphasized Herbert is ready for tonight.

7 p.m. — Both teams have released their inactive players for the matchup.

The Bengals most notable absence will be WR Tee Higgins for the third week in a row and fifth contest this season, who did not practice ahead of tonight’s game with a quad injury.

Baltimore CB Tre’Davious White will also sit tonight out, having been sent to the team from the Rams on Tuesday before the deadline.

6:45 p.m. — The Ravens also added RB Keaton Mitchell back to the 53-man roster, filling the spot vacated by Ngakoue. He was on the PUP list with a knee injury sustained last December, after running for 396 yards and two scores his rookie campaign as a UDFA. He joins Henry and Justice Hill in the backfield.

6:40 p.m. — Both teams have arrived at M&T Bank Stadium ahead of tonight’s marquee matchup between two elite quarterbacks. Notably, the Ravens made some roster moves before kickoff, waiving OLB Yannick Ngakoue and elevating NT Josh Tupou and LB Kristian Welch from the practice squad.
