That was only the fifth passing play of the drive, as the other 15 were on the ground.

Wild Card Round Q&A: Ravens must push Bengals' pressure points (The Ebony Bird)

Do the Baltimore Ravens have a fighting chance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night? Yes, but most of their success depends on their defense.

A: The run game is going to be something to watch, especially with no Lamar Jackson. A lot of people thought the team got to the Super Bowl last year with a lot of luck on their side and that the run was a fluke. They’re feeling confident and ready to give the middle finger to the league. What is the current vibe in the locker room leading up to this game? Mike Macdonald should be able to create an effective pass-rush to attack that right side and hopefully throw a wrench in the Bengals’ passing rhythm. Do the Baltimore Ravens have a fighting chance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night?

For the third time this season, and the second time in as many weeks, the Cincinnati Bengals face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

All 12 of the Bengals’ wins — which includes each of their past six home games — have come by at least a field goal. The Bengals are favoured by more than a touchdown at home, where they’ve averaged 28.7 points per game. On Cincy’s side, the Bengals have gone under this number in four of their past six matchups (including last week vs. But that also means neither quarterback could have the chance to get into a rhythm. Without Jackson, we’re looking to fade offence in general — and the Ravens in particular. In the five games since without its franchise QB, Baltimore has averaged just 13 points and never hit the 20-point threshold.

The Ravens were so close in so many ways. That year, the Ravens were threatening to tie the game at the end of the third quarter, when Jackson was intercepted by Taron Johnson in the end zone and he returned it for a 101-yard touchdown. The Ravens entered the game ranked 30th in the league in red zone efficiency, scoring a touchdown 46% of the time. The Ravens tried all kinds of things in the red zone, but simply turning around and handing it to Dobbins may have been the best option. Chase added his sixth catch on the first play of the second quarter – a 7-yard touchdown. Dobbins in which he showed his heart to fight through a tackle and stretch to get the ball over the goal line. The Ravens defense got stronger as the year went on. It was going to take more than just a jump and ball extension to reach the goal line. Even though the Ravens were on the 1-yard line, it was a long 1. The Ravens were at least going to take a fourth-quarter lead, potentially go up a touchdown. But this was a game the Ravens had in their grip, and it slipped through their fingers. Without Lamar Jackson, the Ravens were heavy underdogs, at least according to the outside world.

"I always joke after — I think it was the Raiders game last year — I got caught and I always tell everybody, 'If I get a fumble, just get behind me, I'm pitching it to you,'" Hubbard said. "But I think that pressure and situation and preparation brings the best out of me, and I love being in those moments." "I don't remember exactly what yard line he was on, it was at least a yard and half to the goal line. I'm trying to get into the 18s, but I got knocked for my 4.95 (40-yard dash) at the combine, and I don't think that matters much now." "I was watching on the big screen. "Based on the formation, I knew it was a sneak formation. He and his tag-team partner on the other edge, Trey Hendrickson, run a lot during the week. But it was Bailey who made the only block he needed. Every possession is so critical because those two turnovers we got on defense — you win the turnover battle two-to-one and you win the game in a game like that. "Just the second half in general this entire year, that's really been the story line for our defense, is rising up and really just not allowing the (opposing) offense to have anything,' said head coach Zac Taylor. It's just the tradition and the standard for our defense." Not only for my teammates, but the fans as well."
