BALTIMORE — Down 13-0 at halftime, the Cincinnati Bengals scored the game's last 35 points and beat the Baltimore Ravens 35-13 on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.

Joe Burrow completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards and four touchdowns, all after halftime, according to Bengals.com. Tee Higgins caught six passes for 148 yards and a touchdown, and Ja'Marr Chase had five catches for 62 yards and a score.

Baltimore controlled the first half. The Ravens outgained Cincinnati 258-59 before the break and converted 8 of 11 third downs, according to Baltimoreravens.com. Zay Flowers took a screen pass 48 yards for a touchdown, and Tyler Loop kicked a 34-yard field goal to finish an 18-play, 78-yard drive, the Ravens' longest of the season by plays and time.

The second half belonged to Cincinnati, which gained 298 yards, picked up 19 first downs and scored 35 points after intermission, the Ravens' site reported.

Burrow opened the third quarter with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki to cap a nine-play, 66-yard drive. Gesicki's fifth touchdown catch leads the team.
