If he had protected the ball better, there might have been a different result, but there is hope heading into the rematch in the playoffs next week.#RavensFlock https://t.co/pwanN4ioPy
The Ravens and Bengals split their regular-season series.
In the first matchup at M&T Bank Stadium, kicker Justin Tucker converted a game-winning 43-yard field goal as time expired to give the Ravens a 19-17 victory on Sunday Night Football.
In the regular-season finale Sunday, the Ravens opted to rest four starters and Lamar Jackson was still sidelined for the game, The Bengals were fully healthy and scored 21 points off three turnovers by third-string quarterback Anthony Brown to extend their winning streak to eight games with a 27-16 victory.
In the latter game, Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins, tight end Mark Andrews, cornerback Marcus Peters, guard Kevin Zeitler, cornerback Brandon Stephens, defensive tackle Rayshad Nichols, and Lamar Jackson were ruled inactive.
The hope is that all of those players, including Jackson, will be back in the lineup for the playoff game against the Bengals.
