It's the Ravens vs Bengals this Thursday night in a special Thanksgiving edition of Sunday Night Football. Live coverage begins at 8 PM ET.

Baltimore’s purring defense is another common perception; it hasn’t allowed more than 20 points since losing 44-10 to the Texans on Oct. 5. Let’s remember those games have been against Tua Tagovailoa, J.J McCarthy, Dillon Gabriel and Tyrod Taylor — not one of those ranking within the top 20 in passer rating.

All three Thanksgiving Day results across the NFL made a significant impact in the AFC and NFC playoff races. The Baltimore Ravens' Thursday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals temporarily dropped them out of first place in the AFC North and out of the playoff spots.
