Ravens Secure a Share of 1st With a 19-14 Win
The Ravens game on Sunday against the Bengals marked the 6th time during the 2016 season the team jumped out to a 10-0 lead. Only once in those 6 games have they extended the lead, and that was against the Steelers when the Ravens took a 21-0 lead into the fourth quarter. Three times they’ve completely relinquished the 10-0 lead and twice when they’ve grabbed a ten-point advantage, the Ravens surrendered the lead for good.
But thanks to a defensive front that got hot late in the second half to produced 3 strip sacks and 3 batted down passes at the line of scrimmage, the Ravens held on to advance to (6-5) and take first place by virtue of tiebreakers, over the Steelers who are also (6-5).
