And in the fourth quarter...

...We find out who's going to win this (ugly) thing.
19-13 Bengals as I type. Bengals are backed up deep. They could really use a nice gain or two in order to take advantage of some field position.

It's bad: ...when the only thing you can hope for is a penalty flag. That was about the only chance the Bengals had of stopping Ed Reed on that punt return. That was dreadful coverage. The fans aren't clapping anymore.
20-19 Ravens.

Am I the only one who thinks this offensive effort by the Bengals is lacking (to be kind)?

Looks like a pick to me. Again, defense to the rescue. Question of course is whether the offense can manage to do anything with this field position. At this point, is there a reliable receiver beyond TJH or CJ? If a single pass is thrown Tab Perry's way here you really have to question WTH is going on.

When in doubt: Go with Rudi and TJ and Rudi. That was easy. It's not an answer to the season, but it might just win this game. Bengals 27, Ravens 20. 8:48 to go.

WTH?: Where was the pass intereference on that touchdown play? Bengals just got lucky. Uh, nevermind. That defensive holding call was a nice makeup call. I'd like to take this moment to mention how much fun this game is to cover on a freaking deadline.
