Sunday's 41-17 win against the Ravens in Baltimore to propel the Cincinnati Bengals into a first-place tie in the AFC North was a departure from recent history between the two teams.
Baltimore had won its last three games against the Bengals by a combined score of 114-19.
Sunday was different, as C.J. Uzomah scored twice, the Bengals' defense surpassed its 2020 season sack total and the Ravens had a tough time stopping the Joe-Burrow-to-Ja'Marr-Chase connection.
Fourth-quarter touchdown runs by Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine delivered the knockout blows to propel the Bengals - and drop the Ravens - to 5-2 this season.
Burrow finished the Week rout of the Ravens with a career-best 416 passing yards, and didn't play all of the fourth quarter.
