The Ravens’ 34-3 rout of the Bengals was Baltimore’s biggest margin of victory over an AFC North opponent since 2003.

WR Mark Clayton made a bunch of big plays against the Bengals, including a touchdown catch and touchdown pass.

RB Willis McGahee was active but did not play for “strategic” reasons, coach John Harbaugh said.

QB Joe Flacco is throwing the ball downfield, a major sign of progress for a rookie who threw checkdowns on a regular basis earlier this season.

The Ravens held the Bengals to 155 total yards, one more than in Baltimore’s season-opening win over Cincinnati.

“I got my butt kicked,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said.

CB Leon Hall gave up long touchdown passes to Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton.

Willie Anderson, a longtime Bengal cut in August, started at right tackle for a Ravens offense that racked up 451 yards.

The Bengals tied team records for most punts (11) and fewest first downs (6) in a game.

QB Jordan Palmer promptly threw an interception after getting a standing ovation when he entered the game.
