Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor addresses the media after his team won its first game of the 2024 NFL season at the Carolina Panthers. The Bengals (1-3) face the Baltimore Ravens (3-1) Sunday at Paycor Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. and the Ravens are currently favored by 3 points.

Some teams have solidified their status as contenders. Others need to begin turning the tides in Week 5. In 2023, the Browns were 2-2 going into Week 5 before winning five of its next six games and later advancing to the postseason. There’s a chance we see a similar emergence from a darkhorse contender.
