Bengals nose tackle Domata Peko had never heard it that quiet in that Ravens’ den of inequity known as M&T Bank Stadium, where the Ravens have won nearly 80 percent of their games in the last decade.
“I’ve been coming here for 10 years and it was the quietest I’ve ever heard it,” Peko said after the 28-24 acid trip. “Even when we were up 14-0. Then A.J. (Green) shut them up.”
You could not only hear a pin drop, but that was the sound of the AFC North shifting away from the pre-season prognostications that buried the Bengals behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
