Bengals Prepare for Rivarly Match against Ravens

After surviving a tough contest against the San Diego Chargers, the Bengals are spending extra time preparing for hated division rival Ravens, who are coming off a loss at 1-1. Both teams feel that this game is an important early-season statement game, and players and even coaches from both teams have spent some time trashing the opponent in the media.
The Bengals expect a tough game and will look to stop Forsett on the ground as they expect the Ravens to try to develop him early. When asked what they need to do on the offensive end in order so succeed, Dalton said, "We have to make sure we're patient on offense. I can't force any throws, especially with all of the pressure they bring with their great linebackers. So just have to be patient."
On the defensive end, the front four hope to get some pressure on Flacco in order to force him into some ill-advised throws. We asked Carlos Dunlap what we thought about this week's match up and he didn't mince words: "Oh Flacco better get used to seeing my face. He's gonna see the food on my teeth. He better get used to it."
