Week 17 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The finale will be a big one but it won’t be easy either. As the Ravens will host the Cincinnati Bengals for their final regular season game, they’ll need a strong finish to make one last push for a playoff berth. Similar to opening the season against the Bengals, the Ravens haven’t had much success closing the season against them either. In Week 17 in 2013, the Ravens went into Cincinnati with the hopes of making the playoffs but left with nothing but disappointment and a 34-17 loss.

The Ravens are fortunate to have home-field advantage this time around, which is crucial considering the Bengals dominance over the Ravens in recent years. Whether they’ll be fighting for first place in the division, attempting to earn a wildcard spot or even heading into the playoffs coming off of a victory, ending the season with a win will be a must.
