For all the pageantry and discussion about the Ravens-Steelers rivalry — and it is certainly deserved — there is another bitter foe on the Ravens’ collective mind this week.
Yes, the Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday in a game that doesn’t only have ramifications on deciding this year’s AFC North champion, but also contains a certain personal flavor. The Bengals, as you certainly recall with a certain amount of turmoil in your belly, knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs last year with an improbable fumble return for a touchdown in a game the Ravens probably should have won.
