How to watch the Bengals take on the Ravens in their first divisional game of the season.
The Cincinnati Bengals will play their first AFC North game of the season when they host the Baltimore Ravens.
These divisional games are always important, but they may be crucial after an 0-3 start. The Bengals got the weight of the first win off their backs last week against the Carolina Panthers. It was due in large part to the running game getting going, and the offensive line prevented anyone from sacking Joe Burrow. The defense still showed some struggles, but they got some necessary stops.
That defense will face an even bigger test against a Ravens offense that is averaging over 200 rushing yards per game. Not to mention corralling Lamar Jackson from taking over a game himself is hard enough on its own.
