We may never know why John Harbaugh was so reluctant to lean into the Ravens' ridiculous ground talent in the early weeks of the season, but belatedly unleashing Derrick Henry has pulled them back to 2-2. They're already averaging an NFL-best 220.5 yards on the ground per game, and Henry and Lamar Jackson could have a lot of fun against a defensive unit surrendering 145.5 rushing yards per game.
The positive news for Cincinnati is that important defensive linemen BJ Hill, Myles Murphy, and McKinnley Jackson are all back from injury. Overall, the Bengals have activated nine defensive linemen to corral Baltimore's rushing attack.
But the way the Ravens defense has struggled to deal with the ball in the air, they may need every offensive yard they can get, especially as Joe Burrow has finally found his range. Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase combined for 145 yards in the Bengals' crisis-averting 34-24 victory over the Panthers, and they'll be looking to pad their stats against the third-worst pass defense in the NFL.
Right now DraftKings has the Ravens as 3-point favorites on the road. We have all the information on how to watch Ravens vs Bengals below, and all of this season's football with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide.

How to watch Ravens vs Bengals from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.
We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 5,000 servers, across 60 countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view your usual Aussie service, you'd select Australia from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to 7Plus and watch the Ravens vs Bengals live stream.
