Something was already missing in the brew Marvin Lewis had been sampling to the 2016 Bengals. Has it been a loss of talent or perhaps existing leaders tuning out Lewis' message? Whatever the reason, it has now mixed with a couple of critical, season-threatening injuries on the offensive side of the ball -- wide receiver A.J. Green and running back Giovani Bernard -- to create the sound of a season flushing down the bowl. The Ravens, while not an elite team by any means, do have some revenge in mind, having lost six of the last seven against the Bengals dating back to 2012 season. I'm not saying the Ravens' defense will pitch a shutout, but this should be a long afternoon for Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton.
