The Ravens have returned from their bye week, as they prepare to take on the New York Giants in the Meadowlands. The Ravens are currently listed as prohibitive 14 ½ point road favorites. Might there be concerns about overlooking one of the league’s worst teams and the great Drew Lock? John Harbaugh addressed the question on Monday:“We’re excited to get back to work.

The league’s trade deadline is less than 2 weeks away and things seem to be heating up across the league. Rumors are flying out of Los Angeles where it appears that Sean McVay and the Rams are waving the white flag on the 2024 season despite being just 1 game in the loss column out of the top spot in the NFC West. The Rams apparently are looking to purge salary and carve out cap space for the future and they’re reportedly willing to trade star players like Matt Stafford and Cooper Kupp.

Back on October 30, 2020, literally two days after signing a lucrative five-year deal with the Ravens, nearly eclipsing the $100M plateau, Ronnie Stanley was injured – his ankle was fractured and dislocated. Ligaments were shredded. It was the beginning of a downward spiral in his decorated career. Over the course of the following two seasons, Stanley would play just 1 game in 2021 and eleven in 2022. And he didn’t play all that well.

For 50 minutes of their Week 3 win in Dallas, the Ravens completely dominated the game. They were up 28-6, they were doing whatever they wanted on offense and the defense was shutting the Cowboys’ attack down. Then, you go into the prevent defense, fail to defend an onsides kick, have a really bad roughing the passer call go against you and all of a sudden, we are starting to talk about whether or not John Harbaugh should be allowed on the plane if they lose this game.
