There's only one thing better than an NFC North rivalry game, and that's an NFC rivalry game that doubles as a playoff rematch.

Eight months after meeting in last year's Wild Card round, the Ravens (1-0) and Bengals (0-1) are set to meet in Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season. That said, a few things will look different this time around.

Lamar Jackson, who was sidelined with a knee injury the last two times these teams met, is back under center for Baltimore. After turning the ball over twice in the Ravens' 25-9 win over the Texans, the 2019 MVP admitted he was "rusty" in Week 1.

Jackson's transition back into peak form will be aided by new receiving targets Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr., though the team will be down one weapon, as RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a torn Achilles against Houston and will be out for the remainder of the season.

With respect to rust, QB Joe Burrow completed just 14 of his 31 pass attempts for 82 yards as Cincinnati suffered a 24-3 loss at the hands of Cleveland in Week 1. Burrow, who missed out on the majority of preseason reps after going down with a calf injury early in training camp, also faces a tough road with respect to transitioning back to peak form.

Should both Burrow and Jackson use Week 2 to take big steps back toward what fans are accustomed to seeing from them, this should live up to the billing of a rivalry featuring two of the NFL's most exciting young signal callers. The Bengals can ill-afford to fall to 0-2 on the season and in divisional play.

Here is everything you need to know in order to tune into Ravens vs. Bengals on Sunday.
