Ravens vs Bengals Preview
The Cincinnati Bengals take the field for the first since their Monday Night Football Game abruptly ended amid the collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin.
Through extensive medical care and an outpouring of prayer and support, Hamlin gradually improved over the course of the week at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. While the Bengals have moved forward to face the Baltimore Ravens in a key AFC North showdown on Sunday, members of the Bengals still have Hamlin on their hearts and minds.
For Bengals tight end Tee Higgins in particular, Hamlin’s recovery has brought relief. Higgins got tackled by Hamlin and made contact with Hamlin at the end of the play before the collapse. Hamlin’s family has asked for no blame toward Higgins for the incident. Hamlin can now breathe on his own and speak. He posted on Instagram on January 7 to express his gratitude for everyone’s love and support.
“He’s doing good, so I’m in a good place right now,” Higgins said via Yahoo! Sports. “It feels good, knowing that he’s OK, he’s doing better. It makes me feel better inside too.”
Hamlin’s journey has touched the Ravens, too, especially safety Geno Stone, who knows Hamlin personally. Stone shared his story with The Baltimore Banner.
“To know the type of person he is and how much he really cared about his community. … I’m still praying for him, praying for his family,” Stone told The Baltimore Banner.
But once Higgins, Stone and their teammates take the field in a rivalry showdown, it’s all business. The Ravens beat the Bengals last time they met and could complete a season sweep on Sunday.
The Bengals (11-4) are already AFC North champions amid the cancellation of the previous game and the mathematical impossibility of the Ravens (10-6) passing the Bengals. While the two rivals could meet in the first round of the playoffs, the location remains in doubt and could come down to a coin flip.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor isn’t happy about the NFL’s decision, but all the Bengals need to do is win on Sunday.
“As far as I’m concerned, we just want the rules to be followed. When a game is canceled, you just turn to winning percentage to clarify everything so we don’t have to make up rules,” Taylor said via Bleacher Report. “There’s several instances this season when a club is fined or people in our building are fined and we’re being told, ‘Follow the rules. It’s black and white. It’s in the rulebook.’ So now when we point out the rules and you’re told, we’re going to change that, I don’t want to hear about fair and equitable when that’s the case.”
Cincinnati needs to win or at least needs the Los Angeles Chargers to lose in order to secure a home game for the Wild Card Round. The Bengals have been one of the hottest teams of late with seven-straight wins.
