Don't look now, but the Baltimore Ravens are on fire. Baltimore has been demolishing their opponents on the ground and is now the league's leader in rushing yards per game with 220.3.

After starting the season 0-2, the Ravens were in serious trouble, and their upcoming schedule was going to make it very tough for them to afford any mistakes. Fortunately, Baltimore showed up in their Week 3 and Week 4 matchups against the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills respectively.

Ravens running back Derrick Henry is turning back the clocks and is playing like the best back in the league. He rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys and followed it up with a 199-yard rushing performance with one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown against the Bills. He's been virtually unstoppable since the Ravens have prioritized feeding him the ball.

The Ravens will look to add to their two-game winning streak in Cincinnati as they take on their division rival Bengals.
