This Thanksgiving Day nightcap features an NFC North clash between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens. Cincinnati is looking to keep its slim playoff hopes alive with the return of Joe Burrow after a lengthy absence due to turf toe. At 3-8, this is a must-win for the Bengals, while the Ravens (6-5) have climbed their way back into a tie atop the division with Pittsburgh.
Cincinnati managed just one win during Burrow's absence, and his return couldn't come at a more desperate time with their playoff odds hanging in the balance. Last week, the Bengals came up short against the Patriots, 26-20, as Drake Maye set a new career high with 294 passing yards. Between Joe Flacco and Jake Browning, the Bengals managed just 197 yards through the air. Chase Brown rushed for 107 yards, but that was not enough. Maybe Burrow's comeback will add what the Bengals have missed during his absence?
Since Lamar Jackson's return to the roster, the Ravens have gotten back on track and climbed above .500 for the first time this season, beating the New York Jets last week, 23-20. Derrick Henry had two touchdowns, while Jackson had 153 yards passing, but that was more than enough as the defense held the Jets offense to 10 points. This is Baltimore's first of two games with Cincy in the next couple of weeks.

Cincinnati has made four red-zone trips, three of which have ended in field goals, including a 33-yarder Evan McPherson made after Lamar Jackson's second fumble of the night gave the Bengals another short field.
The Ravens are fortunate they're down only one score going into halftime.

The Ravens have fumbled three times in the first half. Lamar Jackson has lost two of them.
Here, the ball slipped out of his hand as he tried to bring it back toward his body. Baltimore sure could have used the Tuck Rule there. Unfortunately for head coach John Harbaugh, it's no longer part of the NFL rulebook.
The Bengals took over at the Ravens' 19-yard line.

The Bengals are still missing Trey Hendrickson, but fellow defensive end Joseph Ossai has stepped up Thursday against the Ravens.
He's got a pair of sacks, the latest of which just took the Ravens out of field goal range.
The preceding offensive pass interference penalty on wide receiver Zay Flowers wiped his 36-yard touchdown off the board. Baltimore ends up empty-handed on the drive.

Lamar Jackson just pulled off something plenty surely tried to do during a Turkey Bowl game earlier on Thanksgiving. He retreated, stepped up, veered left, came to an abrupt stop and then fired a pass across the field to tight end Isaiah Likely for a gain of 31 yards.
That's some backyard football from Jackson that he's known for but hasn't delivered often recently while he's battled an array of injuries.

Joe Burrow linked up with Ja'Marr Chase for gains of 43 yards and 15 yards — the first on a go route and the next on an out route — but the Bengals once again failed to end a red-zone trip with a touchdown.
Regardless, the third Evan McPherson field goal of the night, this one a 24-yarder, returned the lead to Cincinnati.

The Ravens have fumbled twice tonight. Their latest giveaway occurred right at the doorstep of the Bengals' end zone.
After catching a pass from Lamar Jackson, Baltimore tight end Isaiah Likely rumbled toward the paint, even hurdling safety Geno Stone.
But before he could cross the goal line, Cincinnati safety Jordan Battle swiped at Likely's arm and jarred the ball loose.
It went through the back of the end zone for a touchback.

- Thu, November 27, 2025 at 9:18 PM ESTAndy Backstrom11:24 left in Q2: Ravens 7, Bengals 6; Evan McPherson adds another FG after Joe Burrow converts 4th-and-1 sneak
Joe Burrow's mobility was a concern coming into tonight, his first game since he went down with his toe injury in Week 2.
But he's looked fine through a quarter and change. On his most recent drive, he rolled right and found go-to receiver Ja'Marr Chase for 13 yards.
Later, he converted a sneak on fourth-and-1 at the Baltimore 32-yard line.
An improvised shovel pass got him 6 yards on the subsequent third down. That set up a 42-yard Evan McPherson field goal.

Jordan Stout is making his case for the Pro Bowl. This past weekend against the Jets, he helped the Ravens flip the field with punts of 74 and 67 yards.
Tonight against the Bengals, he just booted a 61-yarder despite being backed up in his own end zone.
Following the Bengals' turnover on downs at Baltimore's 2-yard line, the Ravens couldn't do anything with the ball.
Stout's punt, however, gives their defense a good reset.

The Bengals had first-and-goal from the Ravens' 2-yard line. They came away with 0 points following three Joe Burrow incompletions and a Samaje Perine run that went for no gain.
Cincinnati had a golden opportunity to reclaim the lead after defensive end Joseph Ossai chased Lamar Jackson for a strip-sack, and Cedric Johnson corralled the recovery that gave the Bengals such a short field.

Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey helped seal the deal this past weekend against the New York Jets by ripping the ball from running back Breece Hall to prevent a fourth-quarter touchdown that would have made it a one-score game.
He's already made an impact play tonight against the Bengals.
Here, he blitzed to sack Joe Burrow for a loss of seven yards, foiling Cincinnati's second drive.

Lamar Jackson is feasting on a struggling Bengals defense. He's been in need of a get-right game, and his first drive signaled that one might be on the way.
Jackson kicked things off by firing a 17-yard, play-action strike over the middle to tight end Charlie Kolar. Later, he stepped up and scrambled without hesitation for an 11-yard gain.
But a toss to running back Derrick Henry got the Ravens in the end zone. Henry followed a collection of blocks and raced 28 yards for a touchdown that gave Baltimore a 7-3 lead.

Joe Burrow's game-opening completion streak stopped at four. His Bengals came to a screeching halt in the red zone, where he couldn't connect with wideouts Mitch Tinsley and Ja'Marr Chase.
Cincinnati had to settle for a 31-yard field goal attempt, which Evan McPherson drilled to give the visiting Bengals a 3-0 lead at M&T Bank Stadium.

Joe Burrow has completed his first three passes in his return from his turf toe injury. The first one went to wideout Mitch Tinsley, and the latest went to tight end Drew Sample, who picked up 14 yards.
So far, so good for the two-time NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Here's what Burrow said pregame about coming back to play for the 3-8 Bengals tonight:
