Total times read this article : 7

Division rivals Cincinnati and Baltimore face off in what promises to be an entertaining Week 5 “Sunday Night Football” matchup. 

Both teams come into the game 2-2, but expectations are still high in for both camps.  

Joe Burrow and the reigning AFC champion Bengals got off to an 0-2 start but have righted the ship with back-to-back wins the past two weeks. They made light work of the Jets in Week 3 before taking down the Dolphins in a Thursday night game that was overshadowed by a scary-looking injury to Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa.

Burrow hasn’t thrown an interception since tossing four in an awful season-opening loss to the Steelers. He and star receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will look to keep the Bengals’ momentum going in Week 5.

The Ravens, on the other hand, are reeling after another blown double-digit lead last week against the Bills. 

Baltimore fans were getting flashbacks when the lead began to slip away. Just two weeks prior, their team collapsed in the fourth quarter and allowed the Dolphins to storm back from a 21-point deficit. 

The defense’s inability to hold a lead has overshadowed an impressive start to the season by QB Lamar Jackson. The 2019 NFL MVP has 13 total touchdowns just four games in.

The Bengals got the better of Jackson and the Ravens in both meetings last season.

Ravens 10, Bengals 0

9:07 p.m. TOUCHDOWN — The Bengals’ defense blows its coverage on 3rd down to leave Mark Andrews wide open. Jackson connects with his tight end, allowing him to waltz into the end zone for a touchdown.

9:05 p.m. — Duvernay gets it again and scurries for a first down. Mike Davis then plows forward for a few yards before an incompletion brings up 3rd and 7.

8:57 p.m. — Another three-and-out for the Bengals. Burrow runs for a short gain on 1st down before an incompletion brings up 3rd and 8. Hayden Hurst makes the catch, but gets smothered short of the marker to bring out the punter again. VERY sluggish start for this Cincy offense.

8:51 p.m. — The defensive holding is followed up by an offensive holding penalty to move the Ravens back 10 yards. On 3rd and 15, Jackson scrambles and it briefly looked like he might break free, but he gets tripped up by the ankles to bring up 4th down. It’ll be another punt. 

8:47 p.m. — Dobbins breaks free again for a nice gain of 17 yards to start the drive, but a pair of Jackson incompletions brings up 3rd and 10. The Bengals get a sack and it looks like they’ve gotten off the field, but a costly defensive holding call gives the Ravens a free first down.

8:42 p.m. — The Bengals get the ball back, but a pair of ineffective running plays quickly sets up 3rd and 12. Burrow drops back and is swallowed up by Jason Pierre-Paul, who gets his first sack as a Raven. Another Cincinnati punt upcoming.

8:38 p.m. FIELD GOAL — Tucker’s kick is true from 37 yards for the first points of the night.

8:37 p.m. — Duvernay gets the ball twice more in quick succession, pushing the Ravens close to the red zone. But a pair of incompletions brings up 3rd and 8, and the Ravens can’t convert. Justin Tucker will come out to attempt a field goal.

8:34 p.m. — Jackson finds Mark Andrews for a completion, then J.K. Dobbins pushes ahead to move the chains. On the ensuing 1st down, a botched snap ends up in the hands of Devin Duvernay, who bursts forward for a gain of 17 yards. Lucky break for Baltimore there.

8:30 p.m. — After the positive start, Cincy’s drive fizzles out and they’ll have to punt it away. Ouch, it was a poor punt too. The Ravens will get decent field position on their first offensive drive of the game.

8:03 p.m. — The Ravens haven’t won a regular-season game at M&T Bank Stadium since Nov. 28, 2021. That’s 315 days without a home victory. Baltimore fans will be hoping that streak ends tonight.

7:53 p.m. — Joe Burrow and the Bengals beat the Ravens in both meetings last year. They’ll be looking to make it three in a row over their division rivals.
