Bengals-Ravens notes

• Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton threw seven interceptions in two games against Baltimore last season and has thrown seven picks in three career games — all losses — at M&T Bank Stadium

• Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco, who has never lost a home opener, is 11-0 at home in September, which is tied with Jay Schroeder for best among Super Bowl-era quarterbacks (minimum 10 starts).

• The Bengals are opening the season on the road for the fifth year in a row, the longest stretch in franchise history and tied with Atlanta for the longest current streak among all NFL teams.

• The Ravens are 13-5-0 in Week 1, and that .722 winning percentage is tied with Chicago (65-25-4) for second best in the NFL behind Denver’s .755 (40-13-1).
