It may only be Week 7, but Sunday's game in Baltimore between the Bengals and Ravens feels like a playoff game. Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss the significance of Sunday's game…
Jake LiscowHostWhat's waiting for us on Sunday is a massive AFC North showdown between the Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens kickoff at 1 o'clock on CBS.
Jake and Joe will be live after the game, and then it will be me, Coach Mike Santagana, and Evan Stacey on the Bengals Squad Show.
And I think that everybody has kind of shot for this one in the Pittsburgh game.
uh as being you know because you have to win these games in order to solidify where your spot's going to be in the playoffs down the road so i think it's big and as far as zach's concerned i think they're all big at this point doc you can kind of see how his style is changing a little bit not that he's feeling pressure but he's just demanding more out of the players I think

that Zach knows that if things don't go well this year, that could be the end of his time in Cincinnati.

That's part of where the quote unquote pressure is coming from, whether or not Zach's feeling it or how he's reacting to it is, as you say, coach, a different conversation, but.

the history of zach taylor and joe burrow in cincinnati i wonder if this is the biggest game it's a big game if we were to go through the history and like power rank the biggest games i wonder where it would be the reason being it's week seven it's a little bit early in the season but the playoff implications for a game this early in the season are pretty staggering there are a lot of division games in the nfl this week that are similar in terms of the stakes at play here where You know, Dallas and Philadelphia.

Philadelphia's not a quarterback, but in the NFC East, it's a little bit open this year.

If the Eagles can win that game, that could be a big deal if they can right the ship.

But for the Ravens and the Bengals, one of these two teams is dropping to 0-2 in the AFC North.

And on the other side, you've got the Browns, who I think are still absolute pretenders and are eventually going to plummet back down to the earth and leave a massive crater.
