Dobbins gained 11 yards on a short pass, reaching the Bengals' 17-yard line. Baltimore had a chance to send this game to overtime or potentially win it (with a two-point conversion) in the final minutes of the game, and Harbaugh had two of his three timeouts still in his pocket for the final drive.

John Harbaugh's clock management backfires.

#Ravens v bengals score Patch

Cincinnati will again be forced to find a way to patch together its blocking unit before heading to Orchard Park.

The next team awaiting them - Buffalo, which features a defense that had eight players record two-plus pressures versus Miami on Sunday - has to be salivating at the thought of rushing Burrow with a very banged-up offensive line. If the Bengals don't receive positive news during the week ahead, they'll have to prepare for a return trip to the Divisional Round without at least two, possibly three of their starting linemen. We don't yet know how serious Williams' injury is, but it didn't look good. The results were immediate: Nine Ravens defenders registered one or more QB pressures Sunday night, negatively affecting a Bengals offense that underperformed. Bengals fans have to feel like they're stuck in a time loop after witnessing left tackle Jonah Williams exit with a knee injury of his own in the first half. Cincinnati entered Super Wild Card Weekend without two of its five starting linemen due to injuries. Bengals suffer another injury up front.It will be an interesting couple of months in Baltimore regarding the club's future under center. Jackson's rare game-breaking ability wasn't at Baltimore's disposal, and try as he did, Huntley just wasn't good enough to get the Ravens over the hump. But ultimately, the absence of Jackson was painfully evident, none more so than when Baltimore called a designed run for Huntley, who had two blockers out in front but was tripped up from behind. He did enough to give Baltimore a chance to win, especially after he connected with Demarcus Robinson for a 41-yard touchdown. After an opening drive interception, Huntley settled in, leading scoring drives of nine and 17 plays to send the Ravens to the break with a 10-9 lead. Still nursing a bad knee, Lamar Jackson stayed home for this one, leaving the responsibility in the hands of Huntley to try to push the Ravens to the Divisional Round. Tyler Huntley's valiant effort falls short.That fumble will linger in the minds of Ravens fans for the next seven months, existing as proof of just how thin the margin between victory and defeat can be in this sport. The Ravens still had the majority of the fourth quarter left to respond, but didn't. Huntley's fumble wasted an excellent drive in which Baltimore covered 80 yards in nine plays and looked destined to score, but it wasn't the end of the game. From there, the defense stepped up to the challenge of preventing Huntley and Co. Instead of falling behind 24-17 in a game that lacked offensive firepower, the Bengals grabbed the lead and a massive momentum swing in one play. Thanks to Logan Wilson's smart attempt to bat the ball out of Tyler Huntley's hands, the quarterback's sneak-and-reach attempt failed spectacularly, landing in the arms of defensive end Sam Hubbard, who rumbled 98 yards in the opposite direction for a decisive touchdown. Baltimore was a yard from taking a lead in a game most expected the Ravens to lose. They'll hope to learn enough to avoid another performance like this next Sunday in Buffao. Thanks to some timely and opportunistic defense, the Bengals are moving on. As our Gregg Rosenthal tweeted, Baltimore found a way to turn the usually explosive Bengals offense into the Baker Mayfield-led Panthers in their last two games.

Cincinnati averaged just 4.3 yards per play Sunday night, keeping things alive by converting 7 of 13 third downs but failing to build a lead offensively against a Ravens team that, on paper, should be beatable. After gaining just 90 yards in the second half of their regular-season finale against the Ravens, the Bengals finished with just 234 yards of offense for the entire game. Much like the second half of their Week 18 meeting, the Bengals encountered a defense that was difficult to solve. Cincinnati entered Super Wild Card Weekend in the unenviable position of being forced to play a division rival for a second consecutive week.
