Scouting Report

Ravens Offense

After starting 1-5, the Ravens rattled off five straight victories before losing back-to-back games to divisional opponents. Now, Baltimore is in second place in the AFC North and looking up at the Steelers, who sit at 7-6.

QB Lamar Jackson threw a touchdown and ran for a touchdown in Week 14's loss to Pittsburgh, breaking an eight-game streak without a rushing score and a three-game streak without a pass touchdown. Jackson has started in 10 games this season. In his first six, he had 15 passing touchdowns and just one interception, but he's thrown only one touchdown to four interceptions in his last four.

In their Week 13 matchup, the Bengals held Jackson to a 53% completion percentage and turned Jackson over three times (Baltimore as a team had five turnovers in the loss).

RB Derrick Henry cleared 1,000 yards for the seventh time in his career Sunday, joining LaDaianian Tomlinson, Emmitt Smith and Adrian Peterson as the only running backs to have 1,000+ rush yards and 10+ rush touchdowns in at least seven seasons. Cincinnati held Henry in check in Week 13: Outside of a 28-yard scamper, Henry averaged 3.5 yards per carry.

Backup RB Keaton Mitchell had 76 rushing yards on six carries in Week 14. Mitchell left the game with a knee injury, but Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh confirmed good news Monday and called him day-to-day.

WR Zay Flowers had his second-most receiving yards of the season against the Steelers, grabbing eight receptions for 124 yards. The Bengals shut down Flowers on Thanksgiving, as he had just two catches for six yards. TE Isaiah Likely scored his first touchdown against Pittsburgh after leading the Ravens with 95 yards against Cincinnati.

Veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins has had a quiet season so far with just 17 receptions. He received one target in the Week 14 loss to Pittsburgh and played just 13 snaps after catching two passes for 25 yards on three targets against the Bengals in Week 13.

Ravens Defense

The Baltimore defense allowed Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers to have one of his most efficient games of the season, posting an 87.5 PFF passing grade, his highest of the year. Rodgers had his second highest yards per attempt of the year (8.4) and his most yards in a game in 2025 (284) in the 27-22 victory. Rodgers found WR D.K. Metcalf early and often, targeting his WR1 12 times for seven catches and 148 yards.

The Baltimore secondary struggled to contain Cincinnati WR1 Ja’Marr Chase in Week 13, hauling in seven catches for 110 yards. The Ravens threw different corners on the All-Pro, as former Bengal Chidobe Awuzie, Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey all logged snaps as Chase's primary defender. Per PFF, Awuzie had the best success, allowing two receptions for 16 yards and one first down on four targets.

Baltimore averages 236.1 yards per game through the air allowed, the seventh most in the NFL.

In his first game back from a toe injury that sidelined him since Week 2, QB Joe Burrow threw 46 passes, completing 24 for 261 yards and two touchdowns on Thanksgiving against the Ravens.

"[Joe Burrow] made some great throws. That's who he is, and that's why he's regarded as one of the best in our league," safety Kyle Hamilton said after Week 13. "He has the stats, been to the Super Bowl, all this other stuff, and it's not by accident."

Cincinnati kept the Baltimore defense on the field in Week 13, holding the ball for over 17 more minutes than the Ravens.

Pittsburgh only ran the ball 17 times for 34 yards against the Ravens after the Bengals galloped for 128 yards on 33 carries, led by 78 rushing yards for Chase Brown. On the year, Baltimore is allowing 111.9 rushing yards per game.

What to Watch For

Burrow Closing in on 20K Passing Yards

Joe Burrow enters this week with 19,735 passing yards in his career. With 265 more on Sunday, in what will be his 74th regular-season game played, he would tie Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino and former Colts quarterback Andrew Luck as the third-fastest player in NFL history to reach the 20,000 mark. The only two players to hit the 20K milestone in fewer games are Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes (67 games) and former Detroit/current Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (71).

Burrow is coming off a season-high 284 passing yards in Week 14 at Buffalo. He previously was the fourth-fastest QB ever to reach 15,000 passing yards (56 games) and tied for the third-fastest to reach 10,000 (36). At the end of last season, his 19,001 career passing yards marked the sixth-most in league history in a player's first five years.

Burrow, who remains the NFL's all-time leader in career completion percentage (68.2), holds the Bengals' top three single-season passing yardage totals. He threw for a team-record 4,918 yards in 2024, had 4,611 in 2021 (second-most in team history) and 4,475 in 2022 (third-most).

Joe Nears 150th TD

Burrow has another career milestone within reach against the Ravens, as he is just two touchdown passes shy of 150 in his career. If he gets it on Sunday, his 74 games would be the third-fewest in NFL history to reach the mark, trailing only Marino (62) and Mahomes (63).

Burrow threw four scoring passes against the Bills last week, marking the first time he had four in a game since Week 10 of last year at Baltimore. His performance in Buffalo marked the 27th time in his career in which he had at least three TD passes, which surpassed Dallas' Dak Prescott (26) for the third-most such games in a player's first six seasons in league history.

Ja'Marr's 75th Game

Ja’Marr Chase will play his 75th regular-season game on Sunday, and some of his numbers to this point — unsurprisingly — are among the best in NFL history. He currently has 6,440 career receiving yards, and with 72 more against the Ravens, he would surpass Odell Beckham Jr. (6,511) for the fourth-most by a player in their first 75 career games. Chase has posted over 100 receiving yards in each of his last three matchups versus Baltimore, including a 110-yard night in Week 13.

Chase also heads into Sunday's contest with 486 career receptions. That total already is the third-most ever within a player's first 75 games, but with nine more, he would surpass Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown (494) for the second-most. Only former New Orleans receiver Michael Thomas logged more catches in his first 75 appearances with 538.

While it would take a monster effort, Chase is 14 receptions away from 500 in his career. If he pulls it off on Sunday, he'd be the second-fastest player in league history to reach that milestone behind Thomas, whose 500th catch came in his 69th game.

Chase's 91 catches this season rank third in the NFL. With nine more, it would mark the 16th instance in NFL history in which a player reached 100 receptions in three consecutive seasons. Chase led the NFL with a Bengals-record 127 catches in 2024, following 100 in 2023.

Offense Shoots for Another Fast Start

The Bengals have scored points on their opening offensive possession in each of the last six games, dating back to Week 8 against the Jets. It is the longest streak of opening-drive scores in the NFL this season, and the longest by any team since Cincinnati put together a seven-game streak from Weeks 4-11 of the 2023 campaign. The Bengals' current streak has consisted of three touchdowns and three field goals.

Extra Points

• Evan McPherson’s 117 made field goals in his career are three shy of tying former kicker Horst Muhlmann (120) for the fifth-most in Bengals history.
• McPherson also has 194 made PAT attempts, seven shy of tying Doug Pelfrey (201) for the fourth-most in team history.
• Ja'Marr Chase's 51 career receiving touchdowns are two shy of tying Ring of Honor member Isaac Curtis (53) for the fourth-most in team history.
• DJ Turner II leads the NFL with a career-high 17 passes defensed this season. With three more, he would become the first Bengals player to record 20 in a single season since 2009, when cornerback Leon Hall had 24 and fellow corner Johnathan Joseph had 20.
• Ryan Rehkow leads the NFL in gross punting average this season with 51.8 yards per punt.
