Most people didn't see it, since less than 1/3 of the nation is able to get the NFL network. The NFL is trying to gouge the cable companies and the cable subscribers.

Luckily enough, those of us in Canada get these games as part of a pretty basic cable package and don't need to subscribe to the NFL Network to get the game.
That being said, I only saw the first half but was quite impressed with how the Bengal defense stuffed the Ravens. For once, as well, I thought a time out prior to a field goal may have actually rattled a kicker. Stover missed the second attempted field goal and missed after the first was negated by the Bengals last second time-out...recently read an article about how this didn't work.

Game was nice. I saw it on a streaming channel. I'm not paying extra money to watch one or two NFL games.
Ravens need to open up more offensive plays to have a chance. Still 13-7 was a good game. Looks like the Bengals finally got a D.

A really good game!! Too conservative for the Ravens...what else is new? A great performance for Ocho Sinko to come through big when the team needed him!!
As a side note to one of the others that responded, let's not be too fast to place all the blame with the NFL for us not all being able to see the game. The cable companies are just as much at fault, all they have to do is sign the deal. The money is not that big of a deal, it is a control and image issue.

I get NFL network w/digital cable, but strangely they don't offer it in HD, luckily, the station "IN HD2" covered it (as they did the thanksgiving night game). Although it was a good match-up, I probably wouldn't have watched all of it if I couldn't get it in HD, because honestly, once you go HD, regular def looks like crap (Nick Backay on nfl.com even mentioned in an article how the difference in sports programing (hd and non) is so much greater than normal television.............very weird.) ... I'm so ticked that the Chargers game this weekend is the ONLY on on CBS not in HD...
anyway..yeah, it was a pretty good game, with a win Chargers will have the #2 spot (bye, whoohoo!), and it showed how beatable the ravens are on offense.

I watched the MAC Championship game between CMU and Ohio University. CMU dominated a tight game in the second half and cruised to an easy 31-10 win and their first MAC title in 13 years.

I thought Brian Billick and his supposed prolific offense didn't show up. 7 points? And those came in the 4th quarter , when the Bengals were up 13-0! Looks like Baltimore still has some offensive problems they need to work out if they want to win a title this year.

I think it sucked, considering that because of the greedy bastards that run NFL Network and Comcast cable...I didn't get the game.
