Despite a rough night on defense, the Baltimore Ravens prevailed over Cincinnati Bengals of the quarterback Joe Burrow in a game that went down to the wire. An outstanding Lamar Jackson was the key to the second straight win for John Harbaugh’s Ravens in Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season.

Burrow had one of his best games on Thursday Night Football against the Ravens, passing for 428 yards and four touchdowns. The 27-year-old quarterback’s performance was accompanied by controversy over unprotected hits on him late in the game. Specifically, a defensive holding call and a contact to the head were not called by the officials.

“Most of the time, you don’t get that penalty in that situation. You don’t expect to get those things anymore,” Burrow said of the facemask contact on the Bengals‘ final offensive play of the game, which ended in a win for Jackson’s Ravens.
