Yahoo Sports Staff Updated Sun, October 25, 2026 at 4:07 PM UTC About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In this story The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals will face off in their first head-to-head matchup of the season in Week 7, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. It's a big-time AFC North clash, as the division is just one of two in the league right now where each team has a winning record.
The Ravens sit at 4-2 heading into this matchup, where they'll be without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, who's set to miss his third straight game with an ankle injury. Backup Tyler Huntley will get the call yet again, having thrown for 366 yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, adding another 48 yards and a score on the ground over the past two games, with a 1-1 record.
The Bengals find themselves at the bottom of the AFC North with a 3-2 record and are fresh coming off a Week 6 bye. The Ravens will certainly hand Joe Burrow & Co. their biggest challenge so far this season, having logged their wins against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins, who hold a combined record of 3-14.
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more as the Ravens host the Bengals in an AFC North showdown in Week 7, airing on CBS.
CBS Sports made it official Thursday: J.J. Watt is the network's new lead NFL game analyst. The network confirmed Watt will continue to call games alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson, including next season's Super Bowl.
The promotion also comes with a new multi-year deal for Watt. CBS Sports did not unveil the financial details of that agreement.
In a statement, Watt said he was " honored and grateful " for the opportunity.
"I am incredibly honored and grateful to have the opportunity to represent CBS Sports and all of the fantastic people who make this place so special," said Watt. "From the brotherhood of THE NFL TODAY to my crews calling games, I couldn't ask for better teammates alongside me on this television journey. I am thankful to David Berson for his leadership, vision and trust. I love this job and can't wait to see ya Sunday with Jim and Tracy and many more Sundays to come!"
Watt's promotion comes just a few weeks after CBS Sports split ways with former lead NFL analyst Tony Romo, who was arrested in July for suspicion of operating while intoxicated.
Watt will be on the call for a key Week 7 AFC North showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens.
The Baltimore Ravens announced Saturday that they've downgraded quarterback Lamar Jackson from "questionable" to "out" for Sunday's home game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
His high ankle sprain will sideline him for a third consecutive game.
Jackson isn't quite good to go for Week 7 after returning to practice in a limited capacity this week.
Jackson coming back to the practice field was a positive sign, but this week no one was ready to declare him 100% back for Sunday.
"He's been able to get some work in these past couple of days," head coach Jesse Minter said on Friday . "Between Lamar and our staff, it's going to be a decision based on him and how he feels and how effective it could be. He's had a good couple of days, but we'll see how it goes over the next 48 hours."
On Friday's injury report, Jackson was listed as "questionable." Minter said Jackson could be a game-time decision, except it turns out the Ravens made the call earlier.
Tyler Huntley will get another start with Jackson out.
