Bengals will not be able to run the ball on Baltimore. If Higgins can play, he needs to play, unless he is still sulking over Franchise Tag and already looking to March Free Agency. Bengals need to throw everything into a WIN over Baltimore and later Wins over Steelers and a Browns win again. 5-1 in the Division could just win the AFC North and home field in a Play-Off game.
Bengals played Ravens close the last game. Bengals can beat them. Burrow needs time to throw and some good pass catchers. On 1st down, Baltimore on Defense loves to over play the run, and Bengals went to Super Bowl throwing on 1st down against Ravens, often the TE is wide open.
GO BENNGALS
I'd be suprised if both him and OBJ aren't ready to go for Thursday. They'll never say this, but I would bet they both could have probably played last week, but the staff (medical & coaching) thought it would be best to give them an extra few days to make sure they were both back for a game against a better opponent. Not that we should overlook any team this year, but we should be able to (and did) handle the Raiders w/o those two.
Just a thought, I guess we'll see this week
