And there have been some absolute classics when they have both played. Sucks that there’s a strong chance we don’t get it this week

Since Joe Burrow entered the league, the Bengals and Ravens have played each other 13 times. In 8 of those games, Joe and Lamar Jackson played and finished the game. In 5 other games, one of them got hurt or missed the game entirely and we're on the verge of it being 6 games.

I'm a big fan of teams having a player cross the long snapper late (after he's dipped his head down) if you're trying to block a punt

Lamar Jackson's status is obviously the key thing for Ravens-Bengals this week, but the most important matchup for me is the interior OL vs. Dexter Lawrence. Have felt since they traded for him that he is good enough to wreck any Ravens gameplan against this interior.

Simpson-Jurgens-Ioane would be their best interior grouping of the year, but Lawrence is still a massive, massive threat.

It's less than 40 snaps though, so small sample caveat applies

The David Walker breakout is no fluke at this point after beating both Steelers tackles for a sack yesterday. He leads the entire NFL in pass-rush win-rate per @PFF (26.3%)

The only time the Browns offense got the ball inside the Ravens' 20 yard line was on the drive after Henry fumbled. Backbreaking play.

Obviously, a lot goes into it, but when Derrick Henry has lost a fumble in a game, the Ravens lose. He's lost 5 fumbles in 39 regular season games w/Balt. The Ravens are 0-5 in those games, all 5 were one-score losses. Average margin of defeat in those losses is 3.6 points.

Believing in Daniel Jones enough to trade two first round picks for an elite CB got a GM fired? Hard to believe.

3rd-and-4 on the Browns game-tying TD drive. First thought: Madubuike was *this close🤏* (might have even got a slight touch on it but just not enough.

Second thought: Line to gain is the 35. As soon as this ball leaves Watson's hand they either need Madubuike to get to the ball, or they need Concepcion to drop the pass. Anything else and it's a third down conversion.

TL;DR Lamar Jackson's presence is worth ~0.5 yards before contact for Ravens running backs

What if we remove runs by Lamar from the equation and only look at RB carries you ask? This season: Lamar on the field: 1.3 yards before contact per carry 0.008 EPA/Play Lamar off the field 1.1 yards before contact per carry -0.131 EPA/Play

Feels weird that it's the Ravens defensive players (that I'm seeing anyway) answering questions about a blown double digit lead. I know it was factually a double digit lead, but it feels off in a game where they allowed 13 points.

Defensively they needed to finish a few pressures that got away from them, and avoid another few missed tackles. But the most important thing they lacked was a good run blocking performance to control the game in the second half.
