Boye Mafe Shines in Bengals' Comeback Victory Over Ravens
In a dramatic turnaround, the Bengals overcame a 13-0 halftime deficit to defeat the Ravens 35-13 in an AFC North matchup at M&T Bank Stadium. The Bengals' offense surged in the second half, but the performance of edge defender Boye Mafe was crucial to their success.
Mafe achieved a career-high 90.2 overall PFF grade during the game, contributing significantly as a pass-rusher with five pressures and two sacks. His ability to generate pressure on third downs was particularly impactful, helping the Bengals halt the Ravens' drives.
This season, Mafe has emerged as a key player for Cincinnati, currently holding an 88.9 overall PFF grade, ranking fourth among edge rushers. His consistent performance has been a vital part of the Bengals' improved defense, which has seen significant upgrades this offseason, including Mafe's acquisition on a three-year, $60 million contract.
