It's 'personal': Ravens, Smith get revenge in Cincy

Key Facts

Jamison won the National Sports Media Association Maryland Sportswriter of the Year award in 2018, and he authored a book titled: Flying High: Stories of the Baltimore Ravens.
Asked about the atmosphere in the locker room after Sunday's win, Smith again brought up the Bengals "not having a lot of respect, saying a lot of things about this and doing the stuff after they won last year in the playoffs and things of that nature."
Smith added, "It was a great win for the team and I'm just excited to be able to head back to Baltimore on the plane relaxing, feet kicked up with a nice W." After the finale of the 2022 regular season, which Baltimore lost 27-16 in Cincinnati, some Bengals players took exception to how the Ravens played, accusing them of "dirty play."
But we pride ourselves on this being the best division in football, so when you go out and play at a great level and you get a win, it means a lot more."
