Ravens running back Lorenzo Taliaferro rushed seven times for 27 yards and two touchdowns and added two catches for a team-high 42 receiving yards in his team's 27-24 loss to the Bengals in Week 8.
Taliaferro was able to take the ball up the middle on a first-and-goal from the 10-yard line to score his first touchdown late in the first quarter. His second score came on another first-and-goal in the fourth quarter, as he ran untouched on the left side for an eight-yard score. He had been held out of the end zone since scoring touchdowns in back-to-back games at the end of September but was a bigger part of the offense in Week 8 after Bernard Pierce was listed as a healthy inactive.
Taliaferro has rushed for 226 yards and four touchdowns on 51 carries while also catching four passes for 60 yards. He'll face the Steelers in Pittsburgh in Week 9.
