The Baltimore Ravens are currently embroiled in a tight game against the Cincinnati Bengals during Week 2.
The Ravens entered the week 1-0 after dominating the Houston Texans, while the Bengals are looking to bounce back after a dispiriting loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Baltimore got off to a great start as they were able to control the game on both sides and limit Cincinnati and Joe Burrow’s passing attack.
However, the Bengals managed to catch up as they started to gain a rhythm offensively and now the Ravens have to hope they can hold them off in the fourth quarter.
The passing attack has looked better with Mark Andrews back on the field, as well as Zay Flowers’ continued ascent.
However, Baltimore received bad news as Odell Beckham Jr. was ruled out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury via Bleacher Report.

Beckham was seen getting work down on his leg in the first half and managed to come back in, but he was ruled out shortly before the second half began.
It’s a blow to the Ravens’ offense as Beckham recorded three receptions for 29 yards and looked like he was on his way to a bigger day.
Without Beckham, Lamar Jackson has to lean on his primary options in Andrews and Flowers to carry the load.
They could also look to the run game more as Gus Edwards has been able to churn out extra yardage on limited carries.
It’s a tightly-contested game and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
