Bengals kiss their sister on drive

The Bengals went up 6-0 on a 27-yard Shayne Graham field goal with 4:56 remaining in the second quarter. It capped a 12-play, 60-yard drive, but -- for the second time --the Bengals failed to score a touchdown in the red zone. The Bengals have had the ball for 15:47, compared to 9:17 for the Ravens.

The Bengals came in ranked fifth in red-zone touchdowns with 21 in 34 possessions. The Ravens were 16th in the NFL in allowing just seven touchdowns in 24 opponent drives inside their 20.

Ravens star punt/kickoff return man B.J. Sams went down on kickoff return after the Bengals second field goal. He fumbled but was ruled down by contact. A boot was placed on Sams' lower right leg.

He was taken from the field on a cart.
