Ravens Defense Stymies Bengals, Offense Goes Wild

CINCINNATI (AP) ― While Mark Clayton and the Ravens' offense picked apart the Bengals on Sunday, the Ravens' defense stymied every Bengals attack.

Cincinnati managed only six first downs, tying the franchise low, and punted 11 times, matching the team high. On 10 of their 14 possessions, the Bengals failed to get a first down.

Cincinnati gained 18 yards on its first play of the game, then a total of 2 on its next 18 plays. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick scrambled for 29 yards and ended up as the team's leading rusher for the third time this season.

The Bengals' offense spent only 21 minutes on the field. The Ravens' defense hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 31 games, the longest current streak in the NFL.
