Answer 1

Let's calculate the total score for the Bengals first.

**Bengals' points:**
- Touchdowns: 2 touchdowns × 6 points = 12 points
- Extra points: 1 extra point = 1 point
- Field goals: 3 field goals × 3 points = 9 points

Now, adding these up for the Bengals:
\[
12 \text{ (touchdowns)} + 1 \text{ (extra point)} + 9 \text{ (field goals)} = 22 \text{ points}
\]

Now, we know the Ravens scored an equal number of points as the Bengals, plus one additional field goal (which is worth 3 points). So we need to add that to the Bengals' score:
\[
22 \text{ (Bengals' score)} + 3 \text{ (additional field goal)} = 25 \text{ points}
\]

Thus, the final score is:
- Ravens: 25 points
- Bengals: 22 points

Comparing this with the answer choices, the correct answer is:

**A Ravens 25; Bengals 22**.
