The Ravens continued their hot streak today with another solid performance against division rival Cincinnati.  Baltimore was able to claim first place in the AFC North with their win and, in the process, extend their win streak to four games.  

The Bengals came out of the gate like a rocket, pushing to a 10-0 lead shortly after the beginning of the second quarter.  Said Baltimore Head Coach Art Vandalay at halftime, "They didn't do anything that we didn't expect.  The just ran it up our throats and we have to do a better job holding at the point of attack."  The Ravens were able to scrape together a long drive and score a touchdown, making the halftime score 10-7 Cincinnati.

The Ravens stuck to their running game and Karlos Williams was able to break through with two second half rushing touchdowns, while wide reciever Breshad Perriman had his first career rushing touchdown as well.  In the end, the Ravens were able to blow past the Bengals, outscoring them 28-13 in the second half.  Rookie cornerback Julius Riddle had a fourth quarter interception return for a touchdown that all but sealed the Baltimore victory.
