The Bengals offense pulled off a miracle comeback in the final two minutes against the Bears, only to be let down by a historically bad defense that gave up a 58-yard game-winning TD pass with just 17 seconds left to play. Bo Nix led another wild fourth-quarter comeback for the Denver Broncos in an 18-15 win over the Houston Texans.

According to NFL.com, the Ravens’ probability to make the playoffs significantly jumped to 57% with the win. Had they lost to Miami, that percentage would have fallen to 37%. The Ravens are now just two wins behind the Chiefs (5–3) for the AFC’s final playoff spot.

Lamar Jackson is ready to look at every game as a must-win after returning from injury Thursday to help the Baltimore Ravens claim their third victory of the 2025 season with a 28-6 Week 9 triumph over Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins.
