The Baltimore Ravens are on a five-game winning streak, but the offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently.

When you have an offense with Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, and Mark Andrews, touchdowns should be the only item on the menu for Todd Monken's unit, but that hasn't been the case.
In fact, tackle Ronnie Stanley stated that the Ravens can't be a Super Bowl team with the offense playing the way it is right now.
But does Lamar agree?
“Absolutely,” Jackson said. “Got to put points on the board. We can't keep putting [Tyler] Loop out there to win us one each and every drive because there's going to be some times when we going against a high motor offense and they might score a lot of points and we going to have to match those guys. So, we just got to do our job.”

Ravens have "get right" game vs. Bengals?
Based on the stats, you would think so.
As things stand, the Bengals' defense gives up a whopping 32.7 points per game, ranking dead last in the NFL, with the defense allowing at least 340 total yards of offense in each of the past four games.
But the Bengals did take the New England Patriots all the way last week in a 26-20 loss without Joe Burrow, so Baltimore won't have it easy on Thursday.
Yes, the Ravens haven't been at their best of late, but they are stacking wins, and that's all that matters. As Lamar stated, the offense has to come to the party eventually.
