The Bengals finally got on the board with a touchdown in the second half on Sunday. Mike Gesicki capped off a nice drive to cut the Ravens' lead to 13-7 on National Tight End's Day. Then, Tee Higgins capped off another drive with a score to take the lead within 10 minutes.

Cincinnati had just 59 yards in the first half, its fewest since 2018, but quickly got rolling on its opening possession after halftime.

The Bengals ignited the offense at halftime and are right back in the most-important game of the season on the road. Check out the touchdown plays below along with the opening drive log:
