The road to Super Bowl 57 begins during a wild-card weekend complete with six games, three of which feature divisional foes. There's nothing quite like a divisional rivalry on the playoff stage.
On Sunday night, the AFC North champion Bengals host the Ravens for the second time in as many weeks. Cincinnati closed the 2022 regular season with a 27-16 victory over Baltimore in Week 18.
This time around, the stakes are much higher as the teams vie for an opportunity to advance in the postseason and move one step closer to being crowned champions.
LIVE: Follow Ravens vs. Bengals wild-card playoff game on ‘Sunday Night Football’
Cincinnati, which ended the season on an eight-game win streak, hasn't lost at home since Week 1 of the 2022 season. Baltimore, on the other hand, enters the postseason after losing three of its final four regular season games with questions looming around the health of quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.
With respect to quarterbacks, the Bengals should feel confident in their pursuit of a second straight trip to the Super Bowl given the swagger of Joe Burrow, who recently said that Cincinnati's Super Bowl window is "my whole career."
