The Bengals won. The Bengals' defense is tied for fourth in the AFC with 14 sacks. Pass rusher Trey Hendrickson has accounted for 5. The Washington Redskins adopted Jim Haslett's in but finished near the bottom in every defensive category. Either way, the Ravens offense must keep pace and capitalize on mistakes made by the Texans' new defense. Weeks 7 and 8 will likely be different scenarios, where the Ravens defense can again feast upon the efforts of teams with new quarterbacks.
The Ravens could face a Blaine Gabbert-led Jaguars offense, although much of that will depend on how successful Jacksonville is during its first few games. Either way, the Ravens defense usually doesn't provide promising matchups for inexperienced quarterbacks.
Week 9 will surely be circled on the calendar, as the Ravens will prepare for their annual visit to Heinz Field.

Any momentum that the Ravens generate from their previous stretch of games could easily be halted here.
