So much for the fear of a letdown.
The Ravens (7-2) scored on their first two possessions, scored twice on defense and secured their fifth straight win with a 49-13 rout of the winless Cincinnati Bengals (0-9) at Paul Brown Stadium Nov. 10.
Any fear that the Ravens might come out flat after their emotional, 37-20 win against the previously undefeated New England Patriots evaporated immediately, as quarterback Lamar Jackson connected with receiver Marquise Brown on a 49-yard completion on the game's first play. Four plays later, the Ravens were in the end zone.
