The first half of the game has not been a good one for the Cincinnati Bengals as the Baltimore Ravens have taken care of business defensively. While they managed to take the opening kickoff back 92 yards for a touchdown, they haven’t amounted to much. Through two quarters, Cincinnati has just 140 net yards on offense.
But with the second quarter coming to a close, the Bengals were driving down the field. They had made it to Baltimore’s 21-yard line and were threatening to turn it into a one-score game. The Ravens needed their defense to come up with a big play and that’s exactly what they did.
For the second time in as many weeks, Josh Bynes made a play in the passing game to force a turnover. This time, he deflected Andy Dalton’s pass into the waiting arms of Marlon Humphrey for his second interception of the season.
After struggling in Weeks 3 and 4 of the season, the Ravens’ defense has gotten better at making plays during these last two weeks. And at the heart of it has been a rising star in Humphrey, who is continuing to show why he should be a household name.
