Tylan Wallace’s breakout performance fuels Ravens’ Thursday night win over Bengals
Tylan Wallace performed like Thursday night at Oklahoma State, earning All-American and All-Big-12 honors for the Cowboys.
In a game reminiscent of his college days, Wallace and Ja’Marr Chase traded highlight plays as the Baltimore Ravens held on for a 35-34 win on Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football.
Wallace had three catches for 115 yards (38.3 avg) and one touchdown, including an 84-yard catch and run that resulted in Lamar Jackson’s longest touchdown pass. Ja’Marr Chase almost spoiled the Purple Rising party, as the former LSU star logged 11 catches on 17 targets for 264 yards (26.4 avg) and three touchdowns, with a long of 70 yards for a touchdown.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was 25-33 passing for 290 yards (8.8 avg), four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 141.4 rating. His AFC North rival, Joe Burrow, did his part for the Bengals, hanging in the pocket as he went 34-56 passing for 428 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
The Ravens defense allowed 470 yards, as Cincinnati was 8-16 on third downs. Baltimore was sloppy on the night, with 11 penalties for 81 yards.
John Harbaugh’s team will now prepare for a must-watch showdown against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
