The Cincinnati Bengals are set to face off against the Baltimore Ravens in a crucial Week 10 matchup on November 7th. Both teams are seeking to bolster their playoff aspirations, and this divisional rivalry promises to be a hard-fought battle. The Bengals, currently holding a 4-5 record, are riding high after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders in their previous game. While the Ravens emerged victorious in their first meeting this season, a thrilling 41-38 overtime contest in Week 5, both teams are expected to bring their A-game to this rematch.
Expectation for both Burrow and Jackson
The highly-anticipated rematch between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens is set to take place at M&T Bank Stadium. This clash of divisional rivals promises to be a thrilling contest, with both teams looking to solidify their playoff positions. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will make his return to the stadium nearly a year after suffering a season-ending wrist injury. This will be his second matchup against Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has led Baltimore to a 6-3 record and Super Bowl contention.
The Ravens’ recent dominance, highlighted by their 41-10 victory over the Denver Broncos, has raised expectations for their performance. With both teams coming off high-scoring wins, fans can anticipate another exciting showdown on “Thursday Night Football.”
Earlier loss of the Bengals
The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals are set to renew their rivalry, but the memory of their thrilling Week 5 encounter is still vivid. In that game, the Ravens emerged victorious in overtime with a score of 41-38.
Lamar Jackson was the star of the show, throwing four touchdown passes, including a spectacular one to Isaiah Likely. Joe Burrow also had an impressive performance, accounting for five touchdowns and 392 passing yards. However, a late interception by Marlon Humphrey allowed the Ravens to tie the game and force overtime, where they ultimately secured the win.
The Ravens’ must-win match
The Ravens are looking to solidify their playoff position with a win over the Bengals. A victory would give them a season sweep over their divisional rivals and extend their winning streak to seven games in eight weeks. This would also keep them in close contention with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the division lead.
Meanwhile, the Bengals are desperate for a win to improve their 3-5 record. A loss would significantly hinder their playoff hopes and make it challenging to catch up to the Ravens or Steelers. This matchup is crucial for both teams, as it could have a significant impact on the AFC North division race.
