The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals will do battle on Thursday night to close out Thanksgiving in a monster AFC North showdown.

In fact, the past two games have been incredible, with the Ravens winning both, 41-38 and then 35-34, in high-scoring games that went down to the wire.
And for Lamar Jackson, what comes to mind when thinking about the rivalry with Cincinnati?
"The back and forth, it seems like every time we play them, we've been going back and forth," Lamar said. "Great quarterback over there, great receiving core, so just looking forward to it again, hopefully it don't be going back and forth. Hopefully it's one-sided, and it's our side."

Will Ravens vs. Bengals be another high-scoring game?
Looking at the Bengals' defense, who allow, on average, a league-worst 32.7 points per game, you could certainly make that case.
In Lamar's last two games against the Bengals, he's thrown for eight touchdowns, zero interceptions, and 638 yards, while going 9/10 in the redzone, so he has his way with Cincinnati.
More of the same is needed here, and the Bengals' defense appears to be easily got at, but as we know, division games don't always go according to the script.

And Lamar is hoping he's on the right side of it again.
