After a dominant win over the Raiders, the Bengals arrived in Baltimore for their Week 10 game, hoping for retaliation. After a disappointing one-score overtime loss to the Ravens in Week 5, Cincinnati had a chance to get its playoff qualification hopes back on track with a prime-time win on the road.
Instead, the Bengals repeated history.
Five weeks after the quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 392 yards and five touchdowns against the Ravens, he threw for 428 yards and four touchdowns in Baltimore. Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase totaled 264 yards and three touchdowns on 11 catches. THE The Bengals lost, 35-34as the defense was unable to stop Baltimore’s offensive surge in the fourth quarter.
Thanks to the relatively poor play of the rest of the AFC, the Bengals’ playoff hopes are still alive despite their 4-6 record. A win over another prime-time wild-card contender is a must if Cincinnati wants to keep that hope alive and turn its season around.
THE Chargers face their first big challenge in a few weeks after three consecutive clashes with two-win teams. Although the Bengals are another sub-.500 team, their roster still has tons of talent, especially on the offensive end, and could be better than their record indicates.

He targeted eight different players, and six of Los Angeles’ offensive playmakers caught a pass as Herbert finished 14 of 18 on pass attempts for 164 yards and a touchdown.
