Welcome into the lounge presented by Draft Kings.

I'm Ryan Mink here with Cliff Don Brown.

And we are going to preview the Ravens big Thursday night football game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Purple Rising game, Cliff.

I know you've got all your purple rising gear ready to go.

You've got the Matt, what Matt reporter's notebook, the pen.

You come in outfit?

Do you come in all purple, Cliff?

Man, I don't have any purple shoes.

I'm going to add that to my game.

Cliff has a better shoe collection than I do.

So you got the hookup from your son-in-law.

You got to get

some purple shoes. Yeah, I got to get that on a resume. You're right. Well, as always,

a pleasure to be with you, buddy. And, you know, this is a huge AFC North game in a tight race.

You know, it's not just the Ravens and the Steelers that are in this race. The Bengals are still very much in this.

And it's a big opportunity for the Ravens to hand them their sixth loss of Cincinnati.

We're to lose this game, which would really kind of put them behind the eight ball.

Conversely, with a Ravens loss, you know, the Ravens have dropped to six and four, the Bengals will be right back in it at five and five.

And now you have a three-way dog fight in the AFC North.

So this is, I feel like Cliff, one of those games that we're going to look back on and say this is kind of a hinge game, you know, that the season kind of went one way or the other.

Yeah, I mean, you want to get the Bengals in your rearview mirror and keep them there if you can.
