A matchup between two members of one of the fiercest divisions in the NFL will take place on Sunday between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens in an AFC North showdown. And while both teams have competed for playoff spots in recent years, this meeting features two teams that appear to be heading in opposite directions.

Cincinnati enters Week 6 with a 0-5 record, joining the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and Washington Redskins as the league’s lone winless teams. Their 80 points scored through five games puts them ahead of only their fellow winless squads in scoring output for the season. The loss of AJ Green to an ankle injury before the start of the season has negatively impacted the offense and quarterback Andy Dalton, which will have to keep up with an impressive Ravens offense to notch a win in this division contest.
The Baltimore Ravens are typically synonymous with defense, but it has been an explosive offense that has helped them get off to a 3-2 start. Lamar Jackson has led the Ravens offense to over 440 yards per game through five weeks, with Baltimore eclipsing 32 points per game to this point. Against a Cincinnati defense that has had to spend a lot of time on the field this season, Jackson and the Ravens will look to keep rolling on offense in this matchup.
These AFC North rivals have met 46 times in their history, with each team claiming 23 of those games. While the Ravens appear to enter this game in form, these two squads know each other well enough to where anything can happen.
