People were blabbering about the Cincinnati Bengals as the AFC North team no one wants to face in the playoffs. They should focus more on a team that won the division and is actually in the postseason, the Baltimore Ravens.
Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry & Co. won the division on Saturday with a 35-10 trouncing of the Cleveland Browns. The victory avenged an early season defeat Cleveland and was Baltimore’s fourth straight.
With a great 1-2 punch on offense and a defense that has come around big time, facing the Ravens in the playoffs will be a test for any opponent.
Henry rushed for 138 yards and two touchdown in the victory. Jackson threw for 217 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also rushed for 63 yards.
