Ravens...34 Bengals...3
Mark Clayton put a little sizzle into Baltimore’s steadily evolving offense.
The fourth-year receiver threw a touchdown pass on a reverse, then made a spectacular one-handed catch for a 70-yard score, helping the Ravens keep pace in the AFC North with a 34-3 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Ravens (8-4) have won six of their last seven games with a renowned defense and an offense coming into its own behind rookie quarterback Joe Flacco. Each week, the Ravens give him a little more of the playbook. Against the Bengals (1-10-1), they added a page for Clayton, a first-round draft pick who emerged as a dual scoring threat on a cold, rainy afternoon.
Flacco had another beyond-his-years showing, completing 19 of 29 for 280 yards and two touchdowns.
Quoteworthy: “We take pride in three-and-outs. Just the way guys are flying to the ball, it’s incredible.” -- Ray Lewis, Ravens linebacker
