Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is set to meet the Baltimore Ravens for the sixth time in his career on Sunday.
Burrow squared off with the Ravens twice in the regular season last year. Baltimore combined for 10 pressures and four sacks against the one-time Pro Bowler in the pair of regular season encounters. Baltimore’s front seven managed to rise to the occasion in the team’s AFC wild-card round matchup against the Bengals, as it pressured Burrow eight times and sacked him four times.
Burrow sees that for his upcoming seventh meeting against the Ravens, he will need to keep a close watch on a defense that sends blitzes on a regular basis.
"They are very sound in their scheme," Burrow said during a press conference ahead of Week 2. “They do a great job of sending blitzes at you that you don't see on tape before. They have a lot of great week-to-week gameplan stuff, so you have to be able to adapt well to it. They've got good players, good coach, good scheme.
"It's going to be a challenge."
The Ravens ranked in the top 10 in both blitzes (14) and pressures (14) in Week 1. They also sacked Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud a total of five times.
Overall, the Ravens have come away with a mere one win from their last five meetings against the Bengals.
