To make up for a reduced production game from Henry, I anticipate Jackson relying on passing to the TEs to draw the safeties in and allow him a couple 1 on 1 deep shots to Flowers. For any shot of winning, the Bengals will need to somehow jump out to a two score lead and put a little panic into Jackson and the Ravens offense, as that is when they are most apt to make an unforced error.
Doubt he shows any fatigue after just 4 games and he won't need to tote the rock that many times this sunday, imo, as Lamar will get his designed runs. It would be one thing if the Cinci. D could actually consistently penetrate, make contact and put hits on a RB at the LOS, and not allow the OL to get to the 2nd level but that hasn't happened in a couple years and that's at full strength. Thing about Henry is he's a downhill runner and he'll get 3-4 yards by mistake and as bad as Cinci. wraps up there will potentially be plenty of YAC.
I think it will be a good game as long as the Cinci. OL can provide the protection against the aggressive pass rush and blitz packages they show. Cinci. simply can't be faced with many 3rd and long situations offensively.
