Bengals’ Chase Brown caps opening drive with 1-yard TD run


BALTIMORE — The Cincinnati Bengals struck first in a big AFC North showdown on Thursday night.

Running back Chase Brown scored on a 1-yard run with 9:23 left in the first quarter to give the visitors a 7-0 lead against the Baltimore Ravens. It capped a 12-play, 70-yard opening drive.

Cincinnati’s drive was extended by a holding penalty on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line. Ravens cornerback Brandon Stephens was flagged for holding Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who was scrambling to get open in the back corner of the end zone. Quarterback Joe Burrow eluded pressure and nearly threw a touchdown pass on the play. However, the ball zipped just high of Brown, who was open near the back of the end zone.

But the aggressiveness was still rewarded because of the penalty. Cincinnati scored one play later.

The Bengals (4-5) are looking to get to the .500 mark for the first time this season and avoid being swept by the Ravens (6-3).
