Ravens Lead Bengals 13-0 at Halftime Despite Jackson's Absence

The Baltimore Ravens are ahead 13-0 against the Cincinnati Bengals at halftime, managing to dominate time of possession despite Lamar Jackson being sidelined due to a high-ankle sprain.

The Ravens opened the scoring with a 48-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Huntley to Zay Flowers. They followed up with a 34-yard field goal by Tyler Loop after an 18-play drive that consumed 11 minutes of the second quarter. Another scoring drive resulted in a 24-yard field goal from Loop, capping a 13-play drive that took over six minutes.

In contrast, the Bengals struggled offensively, recording only three first downs and 59 total yards in the first half. Joe Burrow faced significant pressure, completing 6 of 12 passes for 43 yards. The Ravens' defense has effectively contained Cincinnati's key players, with Ja'Marr Chase catching two passes for 23 yards. Ravens right guard Vega Ioane is questionable to return due to a knee injury.
