The Baltimore Ravens hit the road for their first divisional matchup of the season.
There's no such thing as an easy divisional game in the NFL, and playing in the gauntlet of the AFC North, the Baltimore Ravens know that fact very well.
On Sunday, the Ravens open their divisional slate with a tough road game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Baltimore won both games last season, but it's worth noting that Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow was not fully healthy in either of those games. The Bengals may be 1-3, with their lone win coming last week against the Carolina Panthers, but they're a better team than that record would indicate.
Offensively, the Ravens have found their identity over the past two weeks. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry have been eating defenses alive on the ground recently, combining for nearly 500 yards and five touchdowns rushing in two games. The Bengals rank 25th against the run , so the Ravens will look to stick with what works.
Defensively, Baltimore's secondary faces a stiff challenge. The Ravens rank 28th against the pass , and Burrow, as well as star wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, can absolutely take advantage of that weakness. Luckily, the Ravens held Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen to just 180 passing yards last week, so they are improving on the back end of the defense.
