The Ravens are 8-3, and a Chiefs loss to the Eagles on Monday night away from being the top seed in the AFC entering Week 12.
Jackson threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter, and Baltimore beat Cincinnati 34-20 on Thursday night after the Bengals lost Joe Burrow to a wrist injury.
The win completed a head-to-head sweep of Cincinnati (5-5) and moved to 2 1/2 games ahead of the last-place Bengals.
Star quarterback Joe Burrow left in the second quarter after throwing a touchdown pass and couldn’t return, while Baltimore tight end Mark Andrews is expected to miss the rest of the season after hurting an ankle.
With so many players banged up, guys like Jalyn Armour-Davis and Isaiah Likely saw their roles increase in the future.
