Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season kicked off with a “Thursday Night Football” battle between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium.
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens were able to overcome a potentially game-tying final-minute touchdown drive by Joe Burrow and the Bengals. After getting into the end zone with 38 seconds remaining, Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor opted to go for a two-point conversion and the win instead of kicking an extra point, but the attempt failed, and Baltimore left with a 35-34 win.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Jackson was spotted sitting on the bench, all bundled up in a big sideline jacket with a winter hat and neck/face cover, trying to stay warm. What confused a lot of people was that the weather didn’t necessarily call for such a heavy ensemble, making fans wonder why he chose to wear it in the first place.
Jackson continued his run at a third NFL MVP award with another solid performance, completing 25-of-33 passes for 290 yards and four touchdowns while adding 33 more yards on the ground.
After starting the season 0-2, the Ravens have now won seven of their last eight contest, jumping to 7-3 on the season. Baltimore will have a nice long rest before their next game in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 17.
