CINCINNATI : ”We have our hands full, and it’s going to be an AFC North division showdown, and whoever wins is going to be leading the division at the midway point of the season. We understand that. But we’ve always understood that. With the Bengals, Browns and Steelers, all these games are like that no matter what. The records really don’t matter. These are the kinds of games that you expect. We’re excited about it, and we understand the challenge that’s in front of us.”

QUICK HITS

7 The Baltimore Ravens (5-1) play their first AFC North game of the season when they host the Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) in a matchup between the division’s Top 2 teams.

WR Sammy Watkins (thigh) missed last Sunday’s game against the Chargers, while starters C Bradley Bozeman (back) and RB Latavius Murray (ankle) both left the LAC contest and did not return.

7 The Ravens aim to begin a season 6-1 for the first time in franchise history. (Baltimore has now started 5-1 for the fourth time ever, also doing so in 2020, 2012 & 2000). Dating back to 2019, Baltimore is 9-0 in the month of October, marking the league’s best such record during that span.

ESPN’S MIKE GREENBERG ON JOHN HARBAUGH & LAMAR JACKSON: ”Not only is Lamar [Jackson] a leading candidate for MVP – but how is John Harbaugh not the Coach of the Year so far? The Ravens had the worst August imaginable, and here they are. He’s a great, great coach.”
