BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson ran for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown, threw for 236 yards and carried the Ravens past hapless Cincinnati 23-17.
Jackson rambled, shimmied and passed his way through the winless Bengals, who were rendered powerless against the versatile and seemingly indestructible Baltimore quarterback.
The victory kept Baltimore in first place in the AFC North.
The Bengals can’t stop the run, score touchdowns when they reach the red zone or catch one of those timely breaks that can turn the tide on the most frustrating of seasons.
The Bengals remain winless under first-year coach Zac Taylor and, along with Miami, are one of the two teams in the NFL without a victory this season.
