Joe Flacco was 17-of-34 for 195 yards but had two costly interceptions for the Ravens (5-3), who had won five of their last six games since an opening-day loss to the Bengals. Justin Forsett ran for 68 yards and Lorenzo Taliaferro scored two rushing TDs for Baltimore.
After the Ravens turned two turnovers into 10 points and a 24-20 lead with 3:59 left, Dalton drove the Bengals 80 yards on 10 plays for the winning score with the big play being a 27-yard pass to Sanu. With one last chance, Flacco hit Steve Smith for a long TD on second down, but Smith was called for offensive pass interference.
The Ravens rallied from a 17-6 third-quarter deficit on a pair of touchdowns by Taliaferro, the second after a strip-sack of Dalton by Haloti Ngata. A Dalton interception led to a 53-yard field goal by Justin Tucker with 3:59 left and the exciting finish.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Sanu set up the first TD with a one-handed catch that went for 48 yards and the second on a 26-yard run on a reverse. … Bengals WR A.J. Green missed his third straight game with a toe injury. … Nursing a one-point halftime lead, the Bengals converted an interception by Emmanuel Lamur into a 1-yard TD run by Giovani Bernard and a pick by Adam Jones into a 32-yard field goal by Mike Nugent for a 17-6 edge with 6:29 left in the third.
