**Ravens Edge Bengals in Overtime Thriller, Henry and Tucker Shine**

In a dramatic clash that saw the Baltimore Ravens eke out a 41-38 overtime victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, Derrick Henry and Justin Tucker emerged as key heroes. Henry’s milestone 100th career touchdown came early in the game, and his pivotal 51-yard carry in overtime set the stage for Tucker’s decisive field goal.

The game was a seesaw battle, marked by significant offensive performances from both teams. Lamar Jackson posted an impressive 348 yards with four touchdown passes, complemented by 50 yards rushing. Henry added 92 rushing yards and a touchdown to his record. Zay Flowers was a standout with seven receptions totaling 111 yards.

Joe Burrow had a remarkable outing as well, throwing for 339 yards and achieving a career-high five touchdown passes. Notably, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins each caught two of those touchdown passes, propelling the Bengals’ offense throughout the game.

The afternoon was a rollercoaster of scores, with the Ravens striking first on Henry's touchdown. The Bengals quickly tied the game and then surged ahead in the second quarter. Baltimore answered back robustly, setting the stage for a nail-biting finish. Evenly matched, the teams went into overtime after Tucker nailed a 56-yard field goal with just 1:35 left in regulation.

Overtime began with tensions high. A missed 53-yard field goal by Cincinnati's Evan McPherson following a botched snap gave Baltimore possession. Without wasting time, Henry exploded for a 51-yard run, bringing the Ravens within striking distance at the Bengals’ 6-yard line. Tucker then calmly delivered the 24-yard field goal to seal the victory.

Injury woes also plagued both teams during this high-stakes game. For the Bengals, cornerback Dax Hill exited early with a knee injury, and right tackle Amarius Mims was carted off due to an ankle injury. The Ravens saw tackle Roger Rosengarten leave the game with an ankle issue.

Looking ahead, the Ravens are set to host the Washington Commanders next Sunday, while the Bengals will travel to face the New York Giants in a Sunday night showdown. This intense matchup has undoubtedly set the tone for an exciting NFL season ahead, with both teams showcasing their resilience and talent under pressure.
