Derrick Henry sets up Ravens' OT FG, improbable 41-38 win

Derrick Henry had 14 carries for 41 yards before hitting a 51-yarder to the Cincinnati 6 that gave Justin Tucker the game-winning score in overtime.

Tucker made a 24-yarder with 3:33 left in overtime to give the Ravens an improbable 41-38 victory. He hit a 56-yarder with 1:35 left in regulation to tie the game and needed a 53-yard miss from Evan McPherson in overtime to have a chance to win the game.

The Ravens have won three straight and are now 3-2, while the Bengals have fallen to 1-4.

Cincinnati will feel like it has lost a lead after holding a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Ravens scored 10 points in the final 5:24 of regulation and then the field goal in overtime.

Joe Burrow said he had to be perfect for the Bengals to win, and he almost did. He went 30 of 39 for 392 yards and five touchdowns. But with 3:01 remaining and the Bengals leading by three, Burrow was picked off by Marlon Humphrey on a throw intended for Ja'Marr Chase at the Baltimore 28.

The Ravens' eight-play, 34-yard drive allowed Tucker to tie the game.

The Bengals got a chance to win the ball in overtime after Lamar Jackson botched a shotgun snap and Germaine Pratt picked up the loose ball and ran 9 yards to the Baltimore 38. McPherson had made 14 straight field goals in the fourth quarter and overtime, but holder Brad Robbins botched the snap, throwing off McPherson's timing. The kick went wide to the left.

Two snaps later, the game was over when Tucker made the game-winning shot.

Jackson went 26 of 42 for 348 yards and four touchdowns, with Zay Flowers catching seven for 111 yards. Henry ran for 92 yards on 15 carries.

Chase caught 10 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals, and Tee Higgins added nine for 83 yards and two touchdowns.
