Thursday Night Football signals the start of a new week in the NFL.
One Thursday game kicks off the week, although, lately, it hasn’t been the type of matchup fans have hoped for.
The last few weeks have seen lackluster TNF performances, leaving fans to not want to tune in for these matchups.
Thankfully, that looks to change in Week 11.
The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals are facing off in what should be an exciting, hard-fought battle among division rivals.
Joe Burrow recently spoke about this game in a conversation with reporter Kelsey Conway, saying, “We’re both trying to win the division, so it’s a big game.”

Burrow recognizes how difficult it is to play against a divisional opponent.
By playing divisional rivals twice in the same season, the other team can pick up on your tendencies.
They typically understand the game plan better than other opponents, which typically results in defensive-minded games.
For Burrow’s Bengals, this game has more on the line than a typical regular season game.
The Bengals currently sport a 5-4 record, a direct result of their slow start to the year.
Pending the outcome of this game, the Bengals are in last place in the division.
A loss would be detrimental to both their playoff hopes and their chances to win the division, as the Ravens could widen their lead, not only on the Bengals but on the rest of the division.
However, if Burrow’s team can find a way to win in primetime, they will be right in the thick of the playoff hunt during the back half of the season.
