The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Baltimore Ravens 35-13 on Sunday behind a remarkable second-half turnaround, scoring 35 unanswered points as Tee Higgins delivered 148 receiving yards and a touchdown. Cincinnati entered halftime scoreless and trailing by 13 at M&T Bank Stadium, then took control of this Week 7 AFC North matchup with a performance that changed dramatically after the break.
The victory moved the Bengals to 4-2, including 3-1 on the road. Baltimore slipped to 4-3 and 1-2 at home, leaving the Ravens to assess how a promising opening half became a 22-point defeat before an announced crowd of 70,464.
Two Halves, Two Very Different Games
Baltimore owned the scoreboard early. The Ravens led 7-0 after the first quarter and added six points in the second, keeping Cincinnati off the board throughout the opening 30 minutes. At halftime, the visitors needed both offensive production and defensive stops to get back into the game.
They got both. Cincinnati outscored Baltimore 14-0 in the third quarter, erasing the entire deficit and entering the fourth with a 14-13 lead. That narrow advantage made the final period the decisive test: could the Bengals protect their comeback, or would Baltimore respond?
Cincinnati answered emphatically with a 21-0 fourth quarter. What had been a one-point game became a comfortable road victory, while the defense completed a second-half shutout. This was not a last-second escape or an overtime finish; the Bengals established their lead in the third quarter and expanded it through the fourth.
The available game summary records one interception by Baltimore’s Tyler Huntley, but does not identify its timing or the defender involved. It also does not detail individual scoring drives, red-zone possessions, fourth-down attempts or special teams plays, so those sequences cannot be reliably reconstructed.
Key Performers
Tee Higgins, Bengals: 6 REC, 148 YDS, 1 TD. Higgins supplied Cincinnati’s standout receiving performance, averaging approximately 24.7 yards per reception. His production provided a clear big-play element in a game the Bengals ultimately won by three touchdowns and a point.
Tyler Huntley, Ravens: 23/34, 298 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT. Huntley completed 67.6% of his passes and finished just two yards short of 300. Those passing yards, however, did not translate into any second-half points. Cincinnati’s passing leader and quarterback stat line are not identified in the supplied data.
Derrick Henry, Ravens: 17 CAR, 45 YDS. Henry led the game’s listed rushers but averaged only 2.6 yards per carry. Baltimore could not turn that workload into sustained scoreboard pressure after halftime; his rushing touchdown total is not specified.
NerdSports Stat: Cincinnati turned a 13-point halftime deficit into a 22-point victory—a 35-point swing in scoring margin over the final two quarters.
