Ravens Need Sweep of Bengals to Stay in Race

CINCINNATI -- The Ravens haven't had many good times at Paul Brown Stadium, but Baltimore needs a season sweep of the lowly Cincinnati Bengals to stay in the thick of the AFC North race.

Baltimore won the season opener at home 17-10, which marked quarterback Joe Flacco's rookie debut, and has a chance to finish its first sweep of Cincinnati since 2002.

The Ravens need it. Pittsburgh beat the Bengals 27-10 last week to keep its one-game lead over the Ravens in the AFC North's two-team race for the division title. Now, it's Baltimore's turn to beat up on the lowly.

The Ravens will face an offense that seems utterly confused about how to move forward. The Bengals have been held to 14 or fewer points all but once, dropping them to last in the league's offensive rankings.
