The Bengals travel to Baltimore on Oct. 22 for a critical AFC North clash, aiming to even the division standings at 4-2 and secure their first North win of 2026. To pull off the upset, Cincy must (1) contain Derrick Henry by tightening its outside‑zone defense, (2) unleash its explosive passing attack—led by Tee Higgins, Ja’Marr Chase, and rising star Dohnte Meyers—against a pass defense ranked 13th, and (3) neutralize Ravens pass‑rusher Trey Hendrickson with extra tight‑end and running‑back chip coverage. Success on these three fronts could drop Baltimore to 4‑3 and give Cincinnati the edge.
A brief exchange after practice has reignited conversation about the Bengals quarterback’s political views.

In Week 5, the Cleveland Browns leapfrog the Baltimore Ravens to claim the AFC North lead with a 13-10 win at Huntington Bank Field. Andre Szmyt nails the game‑winning field goal after Jerry Jeudy’s 33‑yard catch set up the final drive, while Austin Estime scores the lone touchdown. Deshaun Watson throws for 164 yards but is sacked five times, and backup QB Tyler Huntley struggles for Baltimore, who lose Lamar Jackson’s second straight start. The Steelers also improve to 4‑2, rallying from 13‑0 down to beat Tampa Bay 26‑19 in overtime, with Aaron Rodgers tying Peyton Manning’s third‑most career TD passes. Key stats: Browns 13‑10, Steelers 26‑19 OT, Ravens 13‑10.
After a 3-2 start, the Bengals’ rebuilt 2026 defense shows both promise and glaring flaws. Run defense fell from limiting big plays (longest runs under 13 yards) to allowing multiple 20‑40‑yard gains, and PFF rates the unit a 50.3 tackling grade—the seventh‑worst in the league with 47 missed tackles. Pass rush shines, tallying 17 sacks (third‑most in the NFL) and earning a 94% grade, but pass coverage lags at 78% (C+). Injuries to key backs like Bryan Cook and Kyle Dugger add to inconsistency. Heading into the next divisional clash versus the Ravens, the Bengals must tighten tackling and stop Derrick Henry’s ground game to stay competitive.
How will it feel to watch your son play in the NFL? Will it make you nervous? Especially with those big defenders trying to stop your child?

The Bengals head into their Sunday matchup with the Ravens after a 3‑2 start, but their ground game remains a glaring weakness. Running back Chase Brown, once projected for a breakout season, tops the league with 95 touches without a single 15‑yard gain—the highest total of any player this year, followed by Kendre Miller’s 55. The article highlights how this lack of explosive runs could stifle Joe Burrow’s play‑action and the team's AFC North push, and it urges a bounce‑back performance from Brown to revive the offense.
Veteran safety Bryan Cook returns to full health for the Bengals ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Ravens. After missing time with an ankle injury—missing the Week 4 loss to Jacksonville and limiting his impact in a Week 5 win over Miami—Cook says he’s ready to “push himself” and help contain Lamar Jackson’s dual‑threat attack. Coach and fans hope his veteran leadership will shore up a defense that has struggled this season, especially against Baltimore’s high‑powered offense.
The Bengals lose tight end Tanner Hudson to a season‑ending pec injury, leaving a gap in their second‑receiver role. Coach James Casey signals confidence in rookie Erick All Jr. to step into that spot, hoping he can match Hudson’s blend of blocking and pass catching. Meanwhile, rookie receiver Colbie Young may also absorb snaps, and the upcoming matchup against the Ravens could be pivotal as Joe Burrow eyes a 4‑3 record. The article also notes Lamar Jackson’s uncertain status and NFL quarterback rankings, but the core news centers on All’s potential expanded duties.
The Cincinnati Bengals came into the 2026 season with very high expectations. The Bengals have not made the playoffs since all the way back in 2022, and they went all-in this offseason to fix that and give Joe Burrow and company another shot at a Super Bowl run. Coming into the season, Burrow publicly put […]

Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson predicts former teammate Trey Hendrickson will record a multi‑sack performance against his ex‑team, the Cincinnati Bengals, when they meet on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2026. Hendrickson returns after missing two games for finger surgery and has only two sacks this season, but showed strong pressure on the Browns last week. The Bengals will likely test his new chip‑on‑the‑shoulder attitude with aggressive pass protection schemes, hoping to limit his impact.
Sharp Football’s Week 7 Worksheet pits the Bengals against the Ravens, highlighting the 11‑2 all‑time edge for Baltimore and a narrow 2.5‑point spread. The Ravens lead the league in first‑half points per drive (2.92) but slump in the second half (1.47), while both teams frequently build double‑digit leads. Cincinnati leans heavily on the pass (84.6% of its TDs) and ranks 31st in rushing efficiency, whereas Baltimore excels on big runs (29 ten‑yard runs, seven 20‑yard runs). QB outlook hinges on Lamar Jackson’s health—if he misses, backup Tyler Huntley offers modest upside, while Joe Burrow continues his QB1 streak with 20‑plus fantasy points after the bye. Key stats: implied total 26.75, points per game 25.6 (CIN) vs 26.0 (BAL), rush‑pass split 36.5%/63.5% (CIN) vs 50.4%/49.6% (BAL).
