Ravens vs Bengals Preview
The third AFC wild card game of the weekend is between the 10-7 Baltimore Ravens and 12-4 Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are favored to win by 9.5 points, despite splitting the home and away games with the Ravens during the regular season.
In week five, the Ravens won at home by two points, then in the final week of the season, the Bengals won at home by a second of 27-16. But can the Bengals beat the same team twice in a row? Head coach Zac Taylor knows it’ll be a battle, but he’s proud of the way his team rallied after what was not a great start to the season and he thinks they’re in a great spot now.
Taylor said in his pre-game press conference (via FOX 19) that his team has kept their heads up the entire season, even after an 0-2 start and a 4-4 midseason record — and he’s right because the Bengals haven’t lost since they were 4-4.
“I think you saw everyone sit up here without panic, understanding that this season has a ways to go. When you’re part of a really good team like we have, you feel that. That leads to no panic, just confidence that we’ll get it going the right way,” said Taylor, adding, “This team has been so connected throughout. We’ve always known we’ve had the pieces. We understand why we lost games. We understand why, in some ways, that was probably good for us.”
He added, “Our guys are in a great space right now. They’ve got a ton of confidence and are really happy they have a home playoff game … You can’t afford to sleepwalk through a week. Had we done that at any point, especially in this back half of the season, we wouldn’t be in this position today of winning the division and hosting a home playoff game. It took all eight of those wins consecutively to get here. On Halloween, we were 4-4. For this team to keep focus every week and to maximize every opportunity that we got speaks to how special this group is.”
The Ravens vs Bengals game kicks off Sunday, January 15 at 8 p.m. Eastern time on NBC. Because of the new way the NFL playoffs work where the teams are re-seeded after the first round, we won’t know until the wild card games are completed who the winners will advance to face next weekend in the divisional round.
