The Cincinnati Bengals played most of the night without star receiver Tee Higgins. They came away without any points late in the third quarter despite a 1st-and-goal, and an animated discussion between head coach Zac Taylor and offensive tackle La'el Collins followed after Collins appeared to miss a blocking assignment on the 4th-down shovel-pass play.
Nevertheless, the Bengals took a 17-16 lead late in the fourth quarter on quarterback Joe Burrow's 1-yard sneak and Evan McPherson's too-close-for-comfort extra point.
But they left too much time for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, and Justin Tucker made a 43-yard field goal to win it 19-17 as time expired.
All three of their losses this season have come on walk-off field goals.
Social media reactions:
Zac Taylor: It's just frustrating to lose. We knew this was going to be a tough test. We were close, but not close enough. #Bengals

With the Rams and Bengals both sitting at 2-3:
This is the 3rd time that each of the teams to play in the previous year's Super Bowl have had a losing record through 5 games.

Zac Taylor: "The defense played well from start to finish."
"The offense found their rhythm... It goes to show you how quickly these games can go."

Joe Burrow: "Tough loss. Frustrating. Still a lot of football to be played. We're not going to panic. 0-2 in the division is not ideal."
