1.DASH TO THE DIVISIONAL: Jan. 15, 2023
The birth of the Run Hubbard Run T-Shirt. In front of the fourth-largest Paycor Stadium crowd in history (66,399), the Bengals earned a trip to the AFC Divisional round when linebacker Logan Wilson denied Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley's go-ahead quarterback sneak early in the fourth quarter of a 17-17 game and punched out the ball into defensive end Sam Hubbard’s arms. Instead of a 24-17 deficit, Hubbard raced an NFL playoff-record 98 yards for the touchdown that gave the Bengals a 24-17 win in the only playoff game of the rivalry.
2. BURROW JOINS 500 CLUB: Dec. 26, 2021
After the Ravens completed a sweep of mutual hard feelings against the Bengals in 2020, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow gave the rivalry even more spice the next year when he threw for the third most yards in NFL history with 525 to fuel a 41-21 victory at Paycor. The victory allowed Cincinnati to clinch the AFC North title the next week that Baltimore took the year before.
3. BOYD, BENGALS CHANGE HISTORY: Dec. 31, 2017
With the Ravens 44 seconds away from a playoff spot, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver Tyler Boyd knocked them out and put the Bills in for the first time in 17 years, converting a fourth-and-12 on a 49-yard touchdown pass before a stunned M&T Bank Stadium crowd. Boyd, inactive for six games before finishing the year with 225 yards, went on to have back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons while Buffalo fans showered him and Dalton with donations to their charities. The play not only jump-started Boyd's career, but also the basketball program for the Western Pennsylvania Youth Athletic Association.
4. JA'MARR SOLVES LAMAR: Oct. 24, 2021
This is the calling-card game for what turned out to be the Bengals' run to the Super Bowl. They came into Baltimore 4-2, but had yet to beat quarterback Lamar Jackson in his five starts against them. They left that day as AFC North contenders when Burrow threw for 416 yards while wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase’s rookie season went from spectacular to supersonic with 201 yards in a 41-17 victory. Chase's now-you-see-him-now-you-don't 82-yard catch-and-run touchdown late in the third quarter broke it open.
5. BENGALS AVOID COIN FLIP: Jan. 8, 2023
The AFC North champion Bengals came into the regular-season finale at Paycor fuming about the NFL's decision to compensate for their cancelled game against Buffalo by making them win a coin flip for the home field in the Wild Card against the Ravens if they lost this one. With help from Bengals Ring of Honor member Chad Johnson, running back Joe Mixon came up with a coin flip celebration he pulled out after scoring a one-yard touchdown to give the Bengals a 10-0 lead on the way to a 27-16 victory.
6. BENGALS GRAB OPENER LATE: Sept. 7, 2014
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw 62 times for 345 yards, but Dalton only needed one pass to silence the M&T Bank crowd and steal the opener. One play after Flacco hit wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. for an 80-yard touchdown that gave the Ravens a 16-15 lead, Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green hooked up on a 77-yard go ball that got the lead back with 4:58 left. Dalton found wide receiver Mohamad Sanu with the two-pointer for good measure on a day the Bengals scored only one touchdown in the 23-17 victory. The Bengals' Mike Nugent tied an NFL record with five first-half field goals.
7. GREEN'S FURIOUS FOURTH WINS IT: Sept. 27, 2015
In an eerie re-play of the opener from the year before, Green answered two go-ahead Ravens touchdowns in the fourth quarter with two of his own to run the Bengals to 3-0 in a 28-24 victory that subdued another huge Baltimore crowd. They were going nuts when linebacker C.J. Mosley's 41-yard fumble return gave the Ravens a 17-14 lead with 6:49 left. But 12 seconds later, Green got it back with an 80-yard catch-and-run. After Steve Smith's 16-yard touchdown from Flacco made it 24-21 with just under four minutes left, Dalton responded with big passes to Sanu and Marvin Jones before capping Green's career 227-yard day on a seven-yard touchdown with 2:16 left to win it.
8.ANOTHER GREEN DAY COMES AT NIGHT: Sept. 13, 2018
By this time, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh had uttered his infamous "Maybe we can cover (Green) once before he retires." It wasn't in this game, played at a buzzing Paycor on Thursday night as the Bengals jumped to 2-0. This time, Green didn't wait to do his damage in the fourth quarter. In the first 17 minutes, he caught Dalton's touchdown passes of four, 32 and seven yards to give the Bengals a 21-0 lead on the way to a 34-23 victory.
9. DALTON SNEAKS OUT A LAST-MINUTE WIN: Oct. 26, 2014
With the injured Green out, the Bengals relied on a monstrous defensive effort that put Flacco through a miserable 43.1 passer rating day at Paycor. Interceptions from cornerback Adam Jones and Emmanuel Lamur were the centerpieces of holding Flacco to 195 yards, but they needed Dalton's fourth-and-one-gut-check quarterback sneak touchdown behind rookie center Russell Bodine with 57 seconds left to pull out a 27-24 victory. And that wasn't sealed until Flacco's 80-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith was waved off with 47 seconds left when Smith was called for interference.
10. BENGALS TAKE WIN INTO PLAYOFFS; Jan. 3, 2016
Backup quarterback AJ McCarron kept the AFC North champ Bengals' hopes for a playoff bye alive when he engineered a 24-16 win over the Ravens in the regular-season finale in what turned out to be his only Paycor start. McCarron posted a 103.9 passer rating, throwing touchdown passes to Green and tight end Tyler Eifert, but Denver beat San Diego later to get the bye.
