Thursday Night Football: The Ravens trail the Bengals 14-7 at halftime and S. Kyle Hamilton injures his ankle

The Ravens trail the Bengals 14-7 at halftime — the first time they have trailed by more than three points at halftime since Week 18 of the 2022 season — but they may have a bigger concern.

With 1:09 left in the first half, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton’s right foot landed on the foot of Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki. His legs gave way. Hamilton limped to the sidelines and eventually to the X-ray room.

The Ravens consider Hamilton questionable to return due to an ankle injury.

The All-Pro has four tackles and two pass breakups tonight.

The Bengals scored on their first drive of the first half and their final drive of the first half. Chase Brown scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to complete a 12-play, 70-yard drive, and Joe Burrow threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tanner Hudson to cap off a 10-play Complete drive of 73 yards.

The Bengals got lucky on both touchdown drives on plays involving Ravens defensive back Brandon Stephens.

Stephen was called for a defensive hold on a fourth-down play, giving the Bengals a new set of losses against the Baltimore 1, and Brown scored on the next play. Stephens intercepted Burrow in the end zone with 1:01 left in the half, but the replay turned the game around and ended when Stephens failed to get both feet infield before touching the field. Hudson scored three plays later.

The Bengals defeated the Ravens 196 to 102, with Burrow going 17 of 29 for 161 yards and a touchdown. Chase caught four passes for 52 yards and Hudson caught four for 28 yards. Brown had 13 touches for 55 yards.

Khalil Herbert, acquired in a trade this week, failed to secure Burrow’s handoff on his only touch, but recovered the fumble that was attributed to Burrow.

Ravens defensive lineman NNamdi Madubuike has two sacks of Burrow.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 10 of 14 passes but only 71 yards. He threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor. The Ravens gained 59 yards on their scoring drive and just 43 on the other four.

Ravens running back Derrick Henry has six carries for 22 yards and tight end Mark Andrews has three catches for 34 yards.

The Ravens only had the ball 10:35.
