The Baltimore Ravens emerged victorious from the much anticipated prime-time game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. Here is our initial statistical review of the game.
Game Summary
According to our new noise-canceled score metric, it was indeed a lopsided affair, with the Ravens pulling away before halftime after Joe Burrow (wrist) left the game.
While they struggled through a good stretch of the first half, the Ravens ended up moving the ball fairly consistently in a deserved win.
Passing summary
With Tee Higgins out again, the Bengals struggled to find efficient targets throughout the game.
Receiving summary
On a night the Bengals probably want to forget, Tanner Hudson was their leading receiver in terms of yardage and efficiency.
Odell Beckham Jr. is still a part-time receiver in terms of route volume, but when he was on the field, Lamar Jackson constantly relied on him. After a missed opportunity earlier in the game, he went off for a total of 116 yards.
