Thursday Night Football
Away from the flurry of holiday preparations, the buzz on the football field is escalating. The Week 10 NFL action gets underway on Thursday night as Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals in a rematch of their Week 5 face-off. The previous encounter was a sensational overtime triumph for the Ravens, adding spice to this upcoming Thursday Night Football showdown. On top of the intense rivalry, both teams have a lot riding on the outcome of this game. The Ravens, being neck-and-neck with the division-leading Pittsburgh Steelers, would benefit immensely from a victory, while the Bengals perceive this game as crucial to much-needed playoff hopes.
Baltimore Ravens
Having dominated the Cincinnati Bengals in recent times, overall season series standing at 31-27, the Baltimore Ravens look well-positioned to continue that trend. The Ravens’ impressive 6-3 record courtesy of their standout quarterback, Lamar Jackson, has boosted their fanbase’s optimism. The team aims to extend their stellar run at home on Thursday night under coach John Harbaugh, having an impressive 21-3 record in primetime home games. But it’s not all smooth sailing as injuries to key players like tight end Isaiah Likely and defensive end Brent Urban could have an impact on their performance.
Cincinnati Bengals
Contrary to their opponents, the Cincinnati Bengals have endured a rocky NFL season so far, stumbling to a 4-5 record. Despite a challenging start, the team managed a turnaround, especially with a recent victory against the Las Vegas Raiders. Looking ahead to the crucial Thursday Night Football game, Bengals fans will be hoping to see MVP candidate, Lamar Jackson, stifle for the first time in the ongoing NFL season. However, with several injury concerns and uncertain player availability, the Bengals have a tricky task on their hands. A winning outcome in Baltimore can reignite their playoff hopes and potentially serve as a turning point in their season.
