The Ravens had their hands full with Cleveland’s defensive front last week, and Cincinnati presents another tough matchup. The Browns rank 2nd in the NFL in pressure rate (46.1%), but the Bengals aren’t far behind at 42.5% (8th). Where Cincinnati really stands out is its ability to finish. The Bengals rank 3rd in sack rate (8.8%) and 6th in pressure-to-sack rate (20.7%), both better than Cleveland’s 8.2% and 17.8%, respectively. In other words, Cincinnati might not get home quite as often, but when they do generate pressure, they’re making it count.
