The Story in 60 Seconds

The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens meet in a critical Week 7 AFC North showdown, with both teams chasing division position. Baltimore enters at 4-2 following a loss to the Cleveland Browns, while the 3-2 Bengals come off their bye week. A key question for the Ravens is whether quarterback Lamar Jackson can return from injury, with Tyler Huntley having started the previous week. Cincinnati's passing attack, led by Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins, will test the Ravens' secondary.

Elsewhere in the division, the Pittsburgh Steelers play the New Orleans Saints in London after improving to 4-2 with an overtime win against Tampa Bay. Meanwhile, the first-place 4-2 Cleveland Browns travel to face the Tennessee Titans following their victory over Baltimore. Cleveland's offense hopes to regain running back Quinshon Judkins, who returned to limited practice this week.
