The Bengals and Ravens face off in Round 2 of their AFC North rivalry. After a 3-0 start, Cincinnati has gone a month without tasting victory. A Week 4 bye was followed by ta blowout loss to the Patriots on Sunday Night Football, 43-17. The Bengals returned home and battled the Panthers to a 37-37 tie in Week 6, and then were shut out by the Colts in Week 7, 27-0.
On the other hand, the Ravens have surged into first place in the AFC North after winning five of their past six games. They've done so thanks to their red-hot offense that's scored 29-plus points in three of their past four games. They're coming off a 29-7 drubbing of the Atlanta Falcons last week, and Baltimore is slowly rising into championship-contender status.
These two teams have combined to win four of the past five AFC North titles, and with both teams entering this game as the top-two teams in the division, we're already on pace to see one of them claim it again this year.
