5-5. Previous: . Baltimore Ravens. 19. team. 26. Courtesy of a 4-0 advantage, the Ravens were hoping to stay perfect in their short-lived series with the Cowboys. The teams played to a 10-all tie in the first 30 minutes but Dallas proved to be too much in the second half. When it was all said, Baltimore’s top-ranked defense allowed 417 total yards on the afternoon and allowed Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott to throw for 301 yards and three touchdowns. The Ravens failed to force a turnover in the game and were also flagged 12 times for a whopping 136 yards. And Dallas ran for 118 yards against the league’s number-one run defense entering the week. <p>Next Week: The team heads back home for the next two games, starting with a key clash with the rival Cincinnati Bengals. It’s a series that has not gone the way of John Harbaugh’s team as of late. The Ravens have dropped five straight to Marvin Lewis’ club. Dating back to 2009, Cincinnati owns a 10-5 record in this setting and has won the last two years at Baltimore.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: At 5-5, the Ravens are still tied atop the AFC North with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But this is a team that is 2-5 in its last seven games following a 3-0 start. But it’s also important to remember that Baltimore is a perfect 3-0 vs. their AFC North rivals this season so far.</p>
