The Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens (5-1) for the top spot in the AFC North. Head coach Zac Taylor has yet to beat the Ravens since taking the job in 2019 and all eyes will be on him this weekend as the Bengals look to "flip the script" against the Ravens in the series.
Here's how the Bengals can beat the Ravens and lead the AFC North:
Force Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to make a mistake
Jackson, the former NFL MVP isn't a player you can say you have to stop. There's no stopping Jackson, it's more about containing him and limiting his production. The Bengals best chance of doing so besides setting the edge and not allowing him to escape the pocket and create explosive plays is to force Jackson into making a mistake. If the Bengals are able to bring pressure on Jackson, Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard will get their chances to bring Jackson down and try and get him to put the ball on the ground. Jackson has five fumbles and five interceptions on the field. Expect Logan Wilson, Jessie Bates and Mike Hilton in addition to Hubbard and Hendrickson to be at the front of making this happen for the Bengals.
