Dumervil’s strip allows Ravens to end skid versus Bengals

Kicker Justin Tucker made all four of his field goal attempts, including three from more than 50 yards away. History lands on the Bengals side since they’ve won five straight in this series, but this season has been all about bucking recent history for Cincinnati. Without his top target Green, and without his top running back Gio Bernard, Dalton may become flustered quickly if the Ravens’ pass rush can get into the back field. Baltimore can turn its focus to shutting down Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert, who missed the first six games of the season with an ankle injury.

The second deflection resulted in Maualuga’s interception that set up the Bengals offense at the Baltimore 19 early in the second quarter. On third and 10 at the 16, Dumervil blew past right tackle Eric Winston to strip Dalton, and Lawrence Guy fell on the ball to seal the win.

“We know what we did wrong in the Super Bowl and we kind of learned from it”, Koch said. Harbaugh ordered a play that called for his punt protectors to intentionally hold the 49ers’ rushers, giving his punter, Koch, a better opportunity to kill time before stepping out of bounds for a safety.

Regardless where they are in the standings, Jets vs. Patriots is always tightly contested. They haven’t won in more than a month, and since October 1, they’re 1-5-1.

Revis was beaten on fourth and four; then saw Malcolm Mitchell cut in front of him for an eight-yard TD catch.

SEEING PURPLE: Some of Green’s best games have come against the Ravens, including 10 catches for a career-high 227 yards last September in Baltimore.

OK, that was insane fun. Cincinnati has won five of those eight games. Dalton completed 26 of 48 passes for 283 yards.

Oakland mounted its own comeback.

Flacco was intercepted on the first play from scrimmage following the field goal.

With a healthy mix of run and pass plays, the Ravens had an 11 play drive for 75 yards. And the Seattle Seahawks have Russell Wilson.
