Will the Ravens rushing attack remain dominant?

The Ravens have rushed for at least 270 yards in back-to-back games, the first team to do so since 2016. Cincinnati is ranked just 25th, and Derrick Henry ran for 122 yards against Cincinnati last season while at Tennessee. Titans. Henry’s comfort level with Baltimore’s offensive scheme seems to be improving every week, and Baltimore’s league-leading rushing attack could keep Burrow off the field and make it a long day for the Bengals’ defense.

Can Joe Burrow have success against Baltimore’s pass defense?

The Ravens have done well to contain Burrow in recent seasons, holding him to fewer than 225 yards rushing in his last four starts against them. However, Baltimore’s pass defense got off to a rough start and still ranks 28th after a strong performance against the Bills. The Bengals will attack Baltimore’s secondary, with Burrow targeting star receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. It will likely be a busy day for Ravenshoek’s Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Stephens and Nate Wiggins as they try to keep Burrow and his weapons in check.

Can the Ravens make an early statement in the AFC North?

This is the division one matchup for both teams, and Baltimore has a chance to put the Bengals in an early-season hole. The Ravens are the defending AFC North champions and appear to have righted themselves after their 0-2 start. The Bengals still have questions to answer, with their only win coming in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. It’s only Week 5, but if the Ravens win their third straight game and drop the Bengals to 1-4, Baltimore’s prospects would go up, while Cincinnati’s would clearly go down.
