National Football League rivalry / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bengals–Ravens rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry[2][3] between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens. The rivalry began in 1996 when the Ravens were created after Cleveland Browns, with whom the Bengals also share a rivalry, moved to Baltimore. The rivalry gained intensity in 2003 as the Bengals hired long time Ravens' defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis as head coach.
