The D-line came to play today. They were particularly impressive in the running game. They held Giovanni Bernard and Jeremy Hill to just 70 yards on 26 carries (2.65 yards per carry).

Defensive tackle Haloti Ngata had his best game of the season against the Bengals. Not only did he record a season-high eight tackles, but he also forced a big turnover on a sack-fumble in the fourth quarter that eventually gave the Ravens their first lead of the ballgame.

Brandon Williams accumulated a career-high six tackles in this game. The defensive line was undoubtedly the most impressive for the Ravens on the day.
