I have more questions about the Bengals’ offense holding up in this litmus test than the defense. The Ravens’ blitz was in full flow last week against the Chargers for the first time, confusing another second-year quarterback and unproven offensive coaching staff. Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Cincinnati’s O-line have proven resourceful this year, although they’ve relied more on moments of individual brilliance than offensive consistency. On the flip side, I’m convinced this juiced-up Cincy D is a top-10 group, the best Lamar Jackson has faced this year; it can keep this game close enough for the Bengals to cover the point spread, even if they don’t win.
