AJ Green scored three touchdowns in the first 17 minutes to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to a 34-23 NFL victory over the visiting Baltimore Ravens.

After trailing 21-0, Baltimore got within 28-23 in the fourth quarter. However, Cincinnati added a field goal before Shawn Williams sacked Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, and Jordan Willis recovered with 2:42 left to all but ice it.

Bengals kicker Randy Bullock added one more field goal for the final margin.

Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton finished 24 of 42 for 265 yards and four touchdowns, which came on four consecutive drives in the first half.

Running back Joe Mixon battled a right knee issue but finished with 87 yards on 22 touches, and Tyler Boyd added six catches for 91 yards and a score.

Cincinnati (2-0) has now won eight of 10 against Baltimore (1-1), including six of seven at home.
