Ravens-Bengals "Lamar Jackson Is Going To Run All Over The Bengals" Live Blog
Lamar gonna have himself a day today. We all know the Bengals are horrendous. You don’t get to 0-8 by accident. It takes a special level of stink to get to 0-8. But it’s the way the Bengals stink that make this the biggest lock of this Sunday’s slate of games. They are absolutely horrible against the run. And not just worst in the league bad. They’re historically awful at stopping the run, whereas the Ravens are historically great at running the football. The Ravens are averaging 205 yards per game on the ground, which is a number that hasn’t been seen since the 70’s. The Bengals’ 177 rushing yards allowed per game is a number we haven’t seen since the ’87 Falcons. It’s an incredible mismatch and Lamar and Ingram are going to EAT today.
Obviously there are a lot of reasons on the surface to think this is a trap game. Road divisional game, Bengals have our number, coming off a big W, new QB yada yada yada. None of that matters. The only person that could’ve put some fear into me is AJ Green and he ain’t playing. Lamar and Harbaugh have said all the right things in hindsight of a couple big wins and they’re going to take care of business in a big way today. Ravens squash the Bengals, no question.
