BALTIMORE, MD — The Cincinnati Bengals lost more than just the game to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football in a 34-20 loss.

>>Bengals QB Joe Burrow believed to have sprained wrist, Coach Zac Taylor says

Quarterback Joe Burrow left the game with a wrist injury after throwing a touchdown pass to Joe Mixon with 5:43 left in the second quarter. That gave the Bengals a 10-7 lead.
