Ravens say this is new year, but recent past vs. Bengals should be unforgettable

New York Times  

The Baltimore Ravens quietly shuffled out of the visiting locker room at Paycor Stadium shortly after midnight and headed into an offseason filled with disappointment and regret. But as of right now, it’s a new season, a new opportunity to do things that you haven’t done before.” To a man, the Ravens players and coaches insisted this week that their recent history with the Bengals won’t mean a thing Sunday afternoon when the two teams meet in the Queen City for the third time in a little over eight months. That was a long time ago.” Regardless of what they’ve said this week — and there seemed to be a clear team-wide effort not to say anything that will wind up on whiteboards in Bengals meeting rooms — the Ravens surely know and remember this: The Bengals have won back-to-back AFC North championships and are favored by many to win a third straight. “They’re on our schedule every year more than once,” said Ravens running back Gus Edwards, who figures to have a more significant role Sunday after J.K. Dobbins’ season-ending Achilles injury. “We’ll have plenty to talk about the next time we play them.” The Bengals, meanwhile, were said to be annoyed that Martindale kept sending all-out blitzes at Burrow trying to preserve the shutout.
