Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals started this NFL season on shaky ground. They lost their first two games to the Steelers in Week 1, followed by a 20-17 loss against the Cowboys the following week. In Week 3, Cincinnati rebounded with a 27-12 win over the Jets. Last week, they snatched a 27-15 victory against the Dolphins.
The Bengals average 22.8 PPG with 1,480 yards of total offense, averaging 257.3 passing yards and 89.5 rushing yards per game through Week 4. This season, QB Joe Burrow has a 64.1% completion percentage and eight touchdowns to his name.
The Bengals will have several players sidelined for this game, including DJ Reader (knee), Drew Sample (knee), Tycen Anderson (hamstring), Clark Harris (bicep), Khalid Kareem (hamstring) and Isaiah Prince (wrist).
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens are still trying to find their rhythm this season. They dominated the Jets 24-9 in their season opener, but the Dolphins managed to stop the Ravens 42-38 in Week 2. Baltimore bounced back in Week 3 with a 37-26 win over the Patriots but fell apart last week in a 23-20 loss to the Bills.
Coach John Harbaugh will have to rely on QB Lamar Jackson to upgrade his numbers against the Bengals. Jackson leads the team's offense with 893 passing yards, 316 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns this season. But he has lacked consistency throwing the football that he will need to remedy for the Ravens to reach their full potential this season.
The team will be without Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and Gus Edwards (knee) in this upcoming game on Sunday night. Due to leg injuries, Justice Hill and Rashod Bateman are still questionable to play against Cincinnati.
