We will see how Joe Flacco deals with the Bengals defense to start out the year. Last season, Flacco struggled against the Bengals defense, throwing 5 interceptions in their 2 matchups. He has to step things up and has to get rid of the football quicker.
The Bengals will be looking to get the ball to A.J. Green in the game. He has been a headache for the Ravens. He finds ways to beat the double coverage and will be looking to be a headache again to start out the year.
Prediction
The Bengals have some good things going on their team. They have some new coaches, but they still should be able to continue their success this season with their players on the roster. In order to continue their success in the regular season, they will have to beat the Ravens. They should be able to do it to start out the year.
