Bengals vs Ravens score live updates Thursday Night Football

If Round 2 is anything like their first matchup this season, it'll be appointment viewing.

Just over a month ago, the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals played one of the best games of this NFL season. The Ravens' 41-38 overtime win in Cincinnati got Baltimore to 3-2, and the league's top offense was in top gear. Lamar Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdown passes, while the ground game rolled up 175 yards. Not to be outdone, Joe Burrow was phenomenal in the loss, throwing for 392 yards and five scores, alongside one interception. Bengals kicker Evan McPherson missed a 53-yard field goal in overtime, which allowed the Ravens to win with a Justin Tucker field goal.

That loss dropped Cincinnati to 1-4 on the season, but as they've done several times over the last several years, the Bengals have bounced back and enter tonight's matchup at 4-5, needing a win to climb back into the AFC playoff picture. Baltimore comes in at 6-3, and needs a win to keep pace with the Steelers at the top of the AFC North.

Ravens activate RB Keaton Mitchell from PUP list

The Ravens added some running back depth before Thursday's game, activating Keaton Mitchell from the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list earlier in the day.

Only Derrick Henry and Justice Hill have carried the ball this season for Baltimore. With the short week, Mitchell should get some work to give those two a break.
