Thursday Night Football Results

Baltimore Ravens get a victory at home against the Cincinnati Bengals 34-20. The game itself was overshadowed by the amount of injuries to start players as Joe Burrow (wrist), Mark Andrews (ankle), Odell Beckham Jr (shoulder) and Lamar Jackson (leg) were all injured

It’s not all bad — with that win, Lamar Jackson, now has the most regular season wins of any QB before turning 27 years old
