The AFC North has established itself as one of the best divisions in the conference, with virtually every divisional game between fierce rivals.

Such a clash is set to take place in the DMV between Baltimore (6-3) and the Bengals (4-5) to kick off Week 10 Thursday night. It’s an intriguing matchup featuring two of the league’s premier quarterbacks, and the stakes are high for both teams, with the Ravens fighting for first in the division and Cincinnati toeing the line of a .500 record on the edge of the playoff scene.

Lamar Jackson will make his second-straight appearance at home after dismantling Bo Nix’s Broncos last week, 41-10. The two-time NFL MVP posted his fourth career perfect passer rating, tying Steelers great Ben Roethlisberger for most all-time. 

Running back Derrick Henry, receiver Zay Flowers, and fullback Patrick Ricard combined for five touchdowns — two on the ground and three through the air — and the Ravens’ defense held the Broncos to just 122 yards rushing and under 200 yards passing. Notably, Denver ranks seventh in the NFL in passing yards per game, with 236.3 on average.

The Bengals are also coming off a dominant win, besting Las Vegas 41-24 thanks to a big performance from Joe Burrow. The quarterback threw five touchdowns, tying his most ever in a game, and sealed Cincinnati’s first home win of the season. 

Burrow’s main weapon of choice in the matchup was running back Chase Brown, who notched 157 yards of total offense on 27 carries and five receptions, scoring one touchdown through the air. Cincinnati’s defense recovered two fumbles and kept the Raiders at 60 rushing yards, less than half of the Bengals’ ground total.

Now, the two elite arms will face off for the fifth time, a rematch of Week 5’s overtime duel where Jackson came out on top despite a career performance from his opponent. Burrow looks to seal his second win against the Baltimore quarterback, but it will be more than just him who needs to step up. Here’s everything to know about Bengals vs. Ravens, including the live score, updates, and highlights from “Thursday Night Football.”

8:21 p.m. — Burrow saves the drive, scrambling out of the pocket and firing one deep to Chase for a 26-yard gain into Ravens territory. Then, Brown takes it for two before powering forward for four more to set up third-and-4.

8:20 p.m. — Brown takes a handoff but only gets two before he’s stuffed by the Ravens defense. Burrow then tries to find Burton just over the 50, but he’s well covered by Humphrey who knocks it away. It’s third-and-9 from the 44.

8:18 p.m. — Tucker boots it for a touchback and Burrow starts from the Bengals 30. Brown makes the first reception of the game for a seven-yard gain, then Burrow hits Chase up the middle for a first down at the 43.

7:50 p.m. — In what could be considered a Color Rush revival, the Ravens will debut their new alternate “Purple Rising” uniforms tonight. It is the first time the franchise will don purple helmets in a game.

7:35 p.m. — Another addition for Baltimore before the deadline was WR Diontae Johnson from Carolina. Johnson was traded with a 6th-round pick for a Ravens’ fifth-rounder, putting yet another target on the field for Jackson.

Because of how recently he arrived, it’s likely the sixth-year veteran—who spent his first five seasons with the Steelers—won’t see many targets along with Herbert.

7:20 p.m. — In other personnel news, RB Khalil Herbert will make his debut for Cincinnati after arriving Tuesday to fill in for the injured Zack Moss. 

Herbert played for three full seasons with the Bears and six games this season, though his use was minimal with RBs D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson in the backfield. Though he will face minimal snaps, Burrow has emphasized Herbert is ready for tonight.

Joe Burrow was asked if it’s possible for Khalil Herbert to learn the offense quick enough, to play Thursday night.

“He’s standing next to me and doesn’t know what to do. I lean over & tell him. He’s right next to me.”

7 p.m. — Both teams have released their inactive players for the matchup.

The Bengals most notable absence will be WR Tee Higgins for the third week in a row and fifth contest this season, who did not practice ahead of tonight’s game with a quad injury.

Baltimore CB Tre’Davious White will also sit tonight out, having been sent to the team from the Rams on Tuesday before the deadline.

6:45 p.m. — The Ravens also added RB Keaton Mitchell back to the 53-man roster, filling the spot vacated by Ngakoue. He was on the PUP list with a knee injury sustained last December, after running for 396 yards and two scores his rookie campaign as a UDFA. He joins Henry and Justice Hill in the backfield.
