Week 1: at Cincinnati Bengals The Ravens began their 2007 campaign on the road against their AFC North foe,
the Cincinnati Bengals, in the first game of a Monday Night Football doubleheader. In the first quarter, Baltimore lost two fumbles early on, with the Bengals turning the second fumble into QB
Carson Palmer’s 39-yard TD pass to WR

Rudi Johnson. With McNair having groin problems, QB
Kyle Boller took over. He threw a pass in the red zone to tight end
Todd Heap that was overturned for an offensive pass interference penalty – a call that drew anger from Ravens fans as replays showed that if anything, Heap had been interfered against. Near the end of the game, he almost helped the Ravens score, but a
Michael Myers interception ended any hope of Baltimore's comeback. In the end, the Ravens ended up with six turnovers on the night. With the loss, Baltimore began its season at 0–1 while the Bengals started out 1–0.
Week 2: vs. New York Jets Hoping to rebound from their turnover-plagued loss to the Bengals, the Ravens flew home for their Week 2 home-opener against
the New York Jets. With

They ended the half with Stover kicking a 29-yard field goal. In the third quarter, Cleveland continued its surge with Dawson kicking a 20-yard field goal for the only score of the period.
