John Harbaugh seemed unhappy with Zach Taylor for dialing up passes once the game was no longer in dispute. At least the Bengals weren't trying to extend the record for 100-yard rushing games.

McPherson's pushes it wide right. Could have tied Justin Tucker's record with him watching.
Maybe one day someone will talk about me the way Mark Andrews talks about John Harbaugh. #Ravens #Bengals #goals pic.twitter.com/0L6tBP1EQe
With Pro Bowl returner Devin Duvernay out, James Proche, Tylan Wallace and Rashod Bateman are taking return reps in pregame. Proche has been first man up, for whatever that's worth.
Calais Campbell (hamstring) will play today, but we'll see how much he's able to play. He's not 100 percent. Patrick Mekari, who was also questionable, expected to start at RT.
This is not exactly the record the Ravens wanted to set: This will be the first time in franchise history the Ravens will start 3 different QBs in a 3-game span, per @ESPNStatsInfo. Week 14: Lamar Jackson Week 15: Tyler Huntley Week 16 (today): Josh Johnson
Ravens CB Anthony Averett is going to be carted off the field. Averett has started 13 games for a Ravens secondary that has already lost two starters (Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters) to season-ending injuries.
Ravens LB Patrick Queen on the Bengals throwing a 52-yard pass when leading by 20 points with 2 minutes left: "I know if I was on the other side, and I had a chance to do something, I'd try to do it. So, it is what it is, and we'll see them again soon."
Since Le'Veon Bell is wearing 6, new Bucs punter Sterling Hofrichter will wear 19. Kenjon Barner will wear 38. Adjust your video-game rosters accordingly.
Some good news for Ravens ... DE Calais Campbell (thigh), RT Patrick Mekari (hand), OLB Odafe Oweh (illness) and S Brandon Stephens (illness) are active after being listed as questionable on the injury report.
And, it's Tavon Young! Think about those odds. twitter.com/colejacksonfb/…
ICYMI: Josh Johnson will make his first start in 3 years after Tyler Huntley tested positive. Johnson has played a game under a Harbaugh previously. He quarterbacked at the Univ. of San Diego 15 years ago, when his coach was Jim Harbaugh, John's brother. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
Pro Bowl FB Patrick Ricard is questionable for this game. Was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but didn't practice Friday. So not sure about his status. twitter.com/jeffzrebiec/st…
Chase with incredible feel for LB Tyus Bowser waiting for him on the crosser. Jukes the second he catches the ball and YACs for a big gain.
Ben Cleveland got tossed aside and the Bengals stop the Ravens on 4th-and-1. Burrow back in with Bengals taking over on Ravens 34.
The Baltimore Ravens have seen their cornerback room be reduced to practically nothing over the course of the 2021 season. They lost star cornerback Marcus Peters before the year began, and have seen most of the remaining players at the position be picked off one by one as the year has progressed.
In Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore lost another one of their cornerbacks in Anthony Averett, who went down in a large amount of pain after tackling Cincinnati tight end C.J. Uzomah. Averett was carted off of the field and eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game. When asked about Averett after the game, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh provided a brief update on the cornerback
The Baltimore Ravens have seen injury after injury impact their team over the course of the 2021 season. Now with just three regular season games to go before the playoffs begin, COVID-19 has hit Baltimore hard, with many players being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list over the past week.
On Saturday, it was announced that quarterback Tyler Huntley was added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list and quarterback Lamar Jackson wouldn’t be traveling with the team, leaving just Josh Johnson as the only healthy signal caller on the Ravens’ roster. In light of all of their absences, the team added 12 players to their game day roster for Week 16, including quarterback Kenji Bahar, wide receiver Sammy Watkins and outside linebacker Daelin Hayes
#Bengals QB Joe Burrow threw for 525 yards with 4 TDs.
Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase have both recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards this season. The @Bengals are the 1st team in NFL history with multiple players with 1,000 receiving yards before turning 23. pic.twitter.com/2UnHFdoGHr
C.J. Uzomah is now a top 5 TE play today. pic.twitter.com/ubXe5OceTS
Zac Taylor almost recoils when asked if the Bengals taking a win over a depleted Ravens team, points out last year's Ravens blowout over Cincinnati on Week 17. Taylor said he didn't see "anybody miniziming their win against us."
Tyler Boyd needs 208 yards to finish with 1,000 on the year and give the Bengals three receivers to achieve that milestone this season. I really want to see that happen.
How will parents explain Ja'Marr Chase spinning the ball to their kids?
Bengals RB Joe Mixon on piling on the points at the end: "Of course. I mean, why not? Over these past few years, people been doing that that to us." Said it was a great feeling to have the roles reversed.
Bengals stopped in the red zone and Evan McPherson hits from 36 yards. The real damage on the drive was the time off the clock. Bengals run 19 plays, go 68 yards and take 10:29 off the clock. Now lead 34-14 with 40 seconds left in the third quarter.

Also, we've learned WR Trent Taylor is easily the best returner on Cincinnati's roster.
Eli Apple, Mike Hilton and Chidobe Awuzie announced as starting CBs today.
Injury Update: No. 96 Cam Sample has a left hamstring injury. He has been declared out.
Promising drive ends in a cluster you know what. After a 2-yard TFL the #Bengals go hurry up as Chris Evans is running on the field. Didn't look like he got back off before the snap. Zac is challenging that Baltimore had 12 on the field
Bengals inactives for Week 16 vs. BAL: LB Logan Wilson, DE Khalid Kareem, CB Vernon Hargreaves, OT Fred Johnson, WR Trenton Irwin, RB Trayveon Williams. es.pn/3prE3gc
Rashad Bateman caught all four of his targets for 26 yards and a TD on Baltimore's first drive today. He was then targeted on Baltimore's next offensive play after the TD...and then not again the entire rest of the game. He played 83% of the snaps and was shadowed by Eli Apple.
Record is 149, by Mike Thomas two years ago. Seventeenth game makes getting there doable for Kupp. twitter.com/nfl/status/147…
The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t even close to having as many roster problems as the Baltimore Ravens entering their Week 16 clash.
But they did suffer one major loss while doing some roster shuffling via roster moves before the game.
Cincinnati had to move defensive tackle D.J. Reader to the reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. He’s the team’s highest-graded defender at PFF and one of the most underrated defenders in the entire NFL, so his absence will make the linebacker’s jobs much tougher on Sunday
