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.
The two rivals have played twice annually since 1996 when the Ravens assumed the Browns' spot the former AFC Central Division. Both teams were placed in the AFC North during the 2002 NFL realignment. The Ravens lead the series, 24–23. The two teams have never met in the playoffs.
