What channel is Bengals vs. Ravens on today? Schedule, time for ‘Sunday Night Football’ in Week 5

It’ll be no laughing matter for the Ravens on Sunday night.

In 2021, the AFC champion Bengals put up 40 or more points three times; two times did that happen against their AFC North rivals in the Ravens, winning 41-21 and 41-17 in a pair of laughers.

So far in 2022, Lamar Jackson has been making NFL defenses look like jokes, too. Jackson is in very early contention to take home another MVP award, which would be his second, if he can continue his torrid pace. The passer has thrown 11 touchdowns through four games, and what makes matters sweeter for Jackson, is the contract that could be waiting at the other end for him.

After a rough start to their 2022 season, the Bengals are looking to add a third consecutive win to the ledger. Cincinnati got right against the Jets, and continued that momentum into a short-week win vs. the Dolphins on “Thursday Night Football.” Now, Joe Burrow, still navigating some offensive line woes, has an opportunity to run it up once again against the Ravens defense.
