C OAC H H A R BAU G H S AY S the Role of Analytics in Decision-making:

“Numbers are valuable, but they have limitations. Numbers can’t think, they can’t breathe, they can’t feel. They don’t have a psyche. They don’t have emotions. They’re just based on history. They tell you something, but they don’t predict the future 100%; they just tell you what happened in the past. Those are all nice things to know, but in the end, it’s still about designing a play and executing a play that’s successful. It’s more about heart, head, emotions, feeling, judgment – those are still all the key factors in decision-making.”

(3-1)

QUICK HITS • In a Week 5 AFC North tilt, the Baltimore Ravens (3-1) host the Cincinnati Bengals (1-2-1) at M&T Bank Stadium. For the eighth time (2009-12, 2014, 2016 & 2018) in head coach John Harbaugh’s 13 seasons, the Ravens are off to a 3-1 start. Baltimore upended Washington, 31-17, last Sunday, while Cincinnati captured its first win of the season with a 33-25 decision over Jacksonville. • Against Washington, the Ravens were led by QB Lamar Jackson, who threw 2 TDs passes (both to TE Mark Andrews) and ran for a careerlong 50-yard score. Jackson was 14-of-21 for 193 yards, also tossing his first INT of the season (107.8 rating). WR Marquise Brown caught 4 passes for a team-high 86 receiving yards, while on defense, OLB Matthew Judon recorded 2 sacks and 5 QB hits. First-round rookie ILB Patrick Queen racked up a career-high 12 tackles, including 3 TFL. CB Marlon Humphrey forced a key fumble, which CB Marcus Peters recovered to kick-start Baltimore’s charge in the first quarter. • The Ravens lead the all-time series with Cincinnati, 25-23. Baltimore has won five of the past eight meetings (including three straight). Under Coach Harbaugh, the Ravens are 12-12 vs. the Bengals. • In the last meeting vs. Cincy (11/10/19), Baltimore earned a 4913 road victory, as Jackson produced his second (Week 1 at Mia.) perfect 158.3 passer rating of the 2019 season. Jackson was 15-of-17 for 223 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs in just three quarters of action. He added 65 rushing yards, including a spinning, wizard-like 47-yard TD run. Baltimore also scored 2 defensive TDs (an 89-yard CB Marcus Peters INT return and 33-yard OLB Tyus Bowser FR).

I N J U RY U P DAT E Starters LT Ronnie Stanely (shoulder) and DE Derek Wolfe (elbow) missed last week’s game at Washington. Top slot CB Tavon Young (knee) was injured in Week 2 at Houston and has been placed on IR.

NOTE THE QUOTE

The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec

on

CB Marlon Humphrey:

“Since 2017, Humphrey has 79 tackles, 18 passes defended, four interceptions, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and two defensive touchdowns. ... He has become one of the top young cornerbacks in football and was a first-team All-Pro last year. He’s shown an ability to match up with the opponent’s top receiver and move into the slot when the need arises. His profile as a defensive playmaker is on the rise. He’s also emerged as a locker room leader who is not afraid to challenge teammates.”
