After the Bengals were forced to punt on their first drive of the day, Cincinnati's defense stepped up and stopped the Ravens' offense.

The Ravens struck first, scoring on their first drive with a 1-yard touchdown from Derrick Henry. The touchdown was Henry's 100th career touchdown.

The Bengals (1-3) are looking to capitalize on their 34-24 win over the Carolina Panthers last week. The Ravens (2-2) are hoping to extend their winning streak to three wins after back-to-back wins over the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills.

Cincinnati's defense will be bolstered this week by returning defensive tackle BJ Hill, who missed two games with a hamstring injury. Sheldon Rankins, a fellow defensive tackle who was also injured in the same game as Hill, is still inactive for the Week 5 matchup. The Bengals will also be without cornerback Mike Hilton, who hasn't practiced all week because of a knee injury. Earlier this week, the Bengals designated corner Jalen Davis from the practice squad. Trey Hendrickson, who dealt with a neck injury last week, will also be active against the Ravens.
