Highlights, quotes, and reactions from Ravens 27-24 win over Bengals in Week 2

4th Quarter: Nelly scores, Baltimore holds on
I think the Ravens have gotten a first down every time they've gone up-tempo on third-and-short this season.

Touchdown, Ravens. That was a dot from Lamar Jackson. Nelson Agholor has his first Ravens TD on a 15-yard fade.

Ravens 27, Bengals 17 with 11:38 left.
Nelson Agholor and Lamar Jackson hook up for a 17-yard TD pass on 3rd-and-5. Really nice throw and catch and Ravens answer Bengals TD.

It's 27-17 with 11:38 remaining. Agholor has 5 catches for 63 yards and a TD. Ravens defense need a stop.
Lamar Jackson delivers his 2nd TD pass of the season, a nicely placed ball to Nelson Agholor in the end zone.

That 17-yard TD pass extends Baltimore's lead to 27-17 with 11:38 left in 4Q.
The short-handed Ravens have certainly been resilient today.
Daryl Worley's in for maybe his first defensive action of the game.

Patrick Queen's a little bit banged up after that first-down play.
Both Mustipher and Mekari deserve some flowers today.
— Cole Jackson (@ColeJacksonFB) September 17, 2023
They're doing a lot to help Mustipher inside (pass pro pulls, doubles), but Mekari has been on an island most of the game and has done DAMN well.
Most versatile OL off the bench in the league and that's why you pay him!
Jadeveon Clowney has been such a disruptor for the Ravens to start the season

Great signing by Eric DeCosta and company
Ravens pass rush is getting dialed up now in the fourth quarter. Jadeveon Clowney with a big hit that forces an incompletion.
— Ryan Mink (@ryanmink) September 17, 2023
Clowney has been TERRORIZING in the second half.
— Cole Jackson (@ColeJacksonFB) September 17, 2023
Hell of a game from him! #RavensFlock
Ravens defensive players all have their hands on their hips. Barely trying to hold on here.
— Jeff Zrebiec (@jeffzrebiec) September 17, 2023
Burrow hits Higgins for a 4-yard TD pass. The Ravens lead is cut to 27-24. There's 3:28 left so Jackson and the Ravens are going to need to extend a drive.

Lamar Jackson picks up a big first down on 3rd-and-3 with his legs. 2:23 left. Bengals out of timeouts, but do have 2-minute warning
