The Bengals are coming off a long rest, beating the Miami Dolphins 27-15 last Thursday night in a win that was largely overshadowed by a head injury to Dolphins QB'Tua Tagovailoa. Bengals QB'Joe Burrow seems to continually be finding his stride week after week, tossing 20-of-31 for 287 yards and 2 touchdowns with WR'Tee Higgins'(7/124/1) being his top receiver. Former OROY WR'Ja’Marr Chase'tacked on 4 receptions for 81 yards.
The Cincinnati run game is still a weak point though, with RB'Joe Mixon'rushing 24 times for only 61 yards, but he did score his first TD of the year. On defense, S'Vonn Bell'anchored the Bengals with 2 interceptions including a game-sealing pick late in the 4th quarter. The Bengals will need to continue to protect Burrow and look for a spark on the ground in order to claim a victory on the road this week.
The Ravens fell to the Buffalo Bills 23-20 last week. After leading 20-10 at halftime, Baltimore did not score in the second half. QB'Lamar Jackson'had 1 TD and 2 interceptions behind only 144 yards passing.'On the ground, he carried the ball 11 times for 73 yards while RB'J.K. Dobbins'carried the ball 13 times for 41 yards and a TD.
