8+1 storylines to follow before the Ravens face the Bengals in Week 2

2. Lamar Jackson hasn't played in Cincinnati since the 2020 season

The last time Jackson visited Cincy for a divisional matchup against the Bengals we had barely flipped the calendar page to 2021, as that game took place on Jan. 3rd.

Jackson put together a rather awkward outing back then, completing a meager 10-of-18 passes for 113 yards albeit three of those ended in touchdowns. He was picked one, and the Ravens went away with a solid 38-3 victory on the road.

This will mark the first time in two seasons and more than 18 months in which Lamar will arrive in Cincinnati and start a game for the Ravens while facing their divisional foes and supposedly AFC North favorites.
