3 best matchups Baltimore Ravens fans must circle on 2024 schedule
By Mike Luciano
Week 10 vs. Cincinnati Bengals (TNF)
Joe Burrow's injury in primetime ruined the Bengals' chances to compete in 2023. Now that he is back in the swing of things, Cincy can give Baltimore their best shot as they fight it out for supremacy of the AFC North.
The Bengals have some trade requests they need to navigate before playing the Ravens, as Trey Hendrickson (who has since recanted) and Tee Higgins are both trying to earn new contracts. The Bengals are still in a position to give Baltimore a run for their money, as Burrow's downfield accuracy makes this offense so lethal at peak efficiency.
The Baltimore Ravens play the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10
While the Browns have one of the best defenses in football and the Steelers should be more formidable now that Russell Wilson has upgraded over Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph at quarterback, no team in the AFC North is a bigger threat to Baltimore's dominance of that division than Cincinnati.
A healthy Burrow not only makes Cincinnati a team capable of taking the North away from the Ravens, but he changes the whole calculus in the AFC. What better way to assert your claim to the division than by taking Burrow down in primetime?
