First, stop buying into the line that the Bengals are a much better team than the Ravens.

Since Burrow was drafted their games have gone like this:
27-3 Baltimore. Burrow's 5th(?) game.
38-3 Baltimore. Brandon Allen was QB for Cincy
41-17 Cincy. The best example of why they should keep Peter's.
41-21 Cincy. Baltimore was without their 2 best CBs and at least 3 of their top 4. Josh Johnson was QB for the Ravens that game.
19-17 Baltimore. I think both teams were mostly healthy, but neither were playing as well as they should have been.
27-16 Cincy. Baltimore had Anthony Brown at QB. He had 3 turnovers. Baltimore was resting starters for the playoffs and Cincy was motivated by the coin flip thing. It should not have been that close.
24-17 Cincy. Huntley at QB instead of Lamar. One bad play (that never should have been attempted) was the difference.
Also of note is that the Bengals are probably paying Burrow a lot this off-season and Chase next. It sounds like Higgins won't be there next season, which is a big problem for them.
