Bengals' Thanksgiving Day Plans Foiled by Flight Delays Ahead of Crucial Game Against Ravens
The Cincinnati Bengals' trip to Baltimore was set back by more than five hours, with their flight from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport delayed until 10:32 p.m. ET on Wednesday, just a few hours before they were scheduled to depart. The team was initially supposed to land in Baltimore at 6:19 p.m. ET but instead arrived at the airport's Baltimore/Washington International Airport at 12:03 a.m.
The delay had significant consequences for the Bengals' plans, who are set to face their AFC North rival Ravens on Thanksgiving night. After landing in Baltimore, the team was forced to stay overnight, eventually arriving at their hotel after midnight. The delay meant that Joe Burrow, who is expected to start against the Ravens, did not get to enjoy a full week of preparation before taking the field.
The Bengals are currently struggling with a 3-8 record this season and need a win against the Ravens to boost their playoff hopes. The game represents a crucial test for both teams, given that they share the AFC North lead. For Burrow and the Bengals, it is a chance to redeem themselves after a series of poor performances.
Despite the setbacks caused by the flight delays, both teams are focused on delivering an impressive performance in this Thanksgiving Day showdown.

. I had that experience once and my bag went missing in transit... anyway, back to the Bengals game... they really need a win against the Ravens, especially since they're struggling this season 
. You know what's also interesting? The history of Thanksgiving in the US, it's not just about food anymore, there are these super cool parades and football games too 
. Oh wait, did I mention I tried that new airline route from London to NYC last month? 
️
. the bengals really need this win against the ravens, 3-8 is not where they wanna be 
. the pressure's on both teams tho, it's gonna be a tight one 
️. hope joe burrow can still bring his A-game despite that crazy flight delay 
. The Ravens are gonna crush 'em if they don't get their act together 
. I was expecting a close game between these two teams but now it's more like "Bengals vs their own incompetence" 
. They really need this win to boost their playoff hopes, gotta root for 'em... or maybe just make some delicious turkey sandwiches while they struggle on the field 
might be a tough matchup for Bengals 
. On one hand, I feel bad for 'em since they really need this win to boost their playoff hopes, but on the other hand, Ravens are gonna be tough opponents too 
like seriously can't they get their act together? so now joe burrow has to go into the game all rusty because of this nonsense. and the bengals really need this win or else it's gonna be a long season for them. i feel bad for the team, they've been struggling all year and this is just the kind of setback that can break their spirits. but you know what? i still got faith in joe burrow, he's gonna lead his team to victory no matter what 
and joe burrow didn't get a full week of prep, like what's gonna happen? his team needs him to perform well but now they're all shook up. Ravens are gonna smell blood in the water 
and i think cincinnati's chances of winning are slim right now. still gotta keep fingers crossed though 
. But hey, at least they'll get their Thanksgiving dinner in... on the plane... at 10:32 pm! Guess that's one way to give thanks 
. On a more serious note, it's gonna be an epic game between these two teams and I'm rooting for the Bengals to pull off a win 
. Burrow better bring his A-game (and some caffeine) 
that's literally the most stressful thing ever for joe burrow and the team they needed that prep time to get ready for ravens who are already killin it this season 
but i gotta say, Bengals need a win bad, they're so close from gettin that playoff spot, fingers crossed it all goes down smoothly on thanksgiving 
. Given their current 3-8 record, a win against the Ravens is not just crucial for their playoff aspirations but also serves as a necessary redemption arc for Joe Burrow and the team's struggling offense 
. The fact that they'll be playing on Thanksgiving night only amplifies the stakes, with both teams eager to showcase their skills in front of a national audience 
.
, he's gonna be super tired for that game! Those extra hours would've been perfect prep time for him to get his head back into it 
... but I still believe in them 
.
Flight delays can be super stressful, but I think they should see it as a blessing in disguise? 
The Ravens are gonna be on their toes, too, which means it'll be a real nail-biter game. Win or lose, the Bengals' fans will still have a blast on Turkey Day
