Ravens’ second-half meltdown was unlike any choke the NFL has seen in more than 75 years

The Ravens had a choke of epic proportions on Sunday.

Winning 13-0 at halftime, Baltimore ended up losing to Cincinnati, 35-13. The Bengals’ win was the first time since 1950 that an NFL team has won a game by 20 or more points after trailing by 13 or more points at halftime.

It’s hard to describe just how much the Bengals dominated the second half. The first 10 possessions of the second half went like this: Bengals touchdown, Ravens punt, Bengals touchdown, Ravens turnover on downs, Bengals touchdown, Ravens punt, Bengals touchdown, Ravens interception, Bengals touchdown, Ravens turnover on downs.

The Ravens’ loss was their second consecutive ugly second half: A week earlier, Baltimore was beating Cleveland 10-0 at halftime but ended up losing 13-10. Over the last two weeks, the Ravens have been outscored 48-0 in the second half.

Whatever the Ravens are doing at halftime, it’s not working, and it needs to get fixed ahead of this Sunday’s game at Buffalo.
