The NFL finally voted to keep or ban the tush push. The Ravens — among 10 total teams — kept the play. Do you agree with them?
On Wednesday, the NFL voted to either keep or ban the infamous tush push. The NFL needed 24 votes to ban the play, but only 22 teams voted to ban.
The Baltimore Ravens were one of the 10 dissenting teams to keep the play, but the debate over the play rages on.
So, today’s Question of the Day is:
Early in his career, Lamar Jackson said he wants to change his jersey number to No. 1 after winning a Super Bowl. If that happens, Likely wants to wear No. 8.
In 2021, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson shared he wants a jersey number change in his career.
He joined the Ravens’ team podcast, “The Lounge,” and his dream would be be to go from No. 8 to No. 1, but only after winning a Super Bowl.
“If we win the Super Bowl, I’m going to No. 1,” Jackson said. “I want the No. 1. That’s my first number ever....
Which Baltimore Ravens game do you wish was primetime?
Ravens fans have become used to a nationalized schedule. Call it the “Lamar Jackson Effect,” but since his first MVP year, the Ravens are scheduled for nationally televised games with frequency.
Currently, the Ravens have four nationally televised games, four at night against the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals. They also have two in the mid-game window against the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns.
But what is weird is that despite Lamar Jackson’s impact, there are 10 teams with more night primetime games than the Ravens....
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow expressed his displeasure for having to face the Ravens in prime time in their stadium for the fourth consecutive season.
Each season, the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals face off twice. But for the past three — and again in 2025 — the Ravens’ home game will be nationally broadcast, this time on Thanksgiving. And Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow isn’t thrilled about it.
“Playing in Baltimore for the fourth straight prime-time year isn’t ideal,” Burrow said on Tuesday, via ESPN. “Maybe we can get one of those in Cincinnati next year. Please.”
And I have...
After another season being named an NFL All-Pro, safety Kyle Hamilton has been ranked amongst the top players still under the age of 25.
Over the past two seasons, safety Kyle Hamilton has asserted himself as one of the top safeties in the NFL after notching his second consecutive All-Pro nod (second team) in 2024.
The best players tend to not only earn praise and accolades during the season, but also in the dead of the offseason, as well. In a new set of rankings by the folks over at Pro Football Focus, Hamilton was recently ranked as the third-best...
The Ravens have a schedule full of stacked opponents. Which of their regular season games are you most looking forward to?
The Ravens’ 2025 regular season schedule is a gauntlet. They face eight playoff teams — five of them in the first six weeks. Getting through the early adversity will be difficult, but rewarding if they come away with some tie-breaking victories.
Their first four weeks include the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football, a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football at home, and on the road in Week 4 against the Chiefs in the...
Overwhelmingly, Baltimore Ravens fans approve of the job General Manager Eric DeCosta is doing.
A couple weeks ago, Baltimore Beatdown conducted its first true approval poll of Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta. We highlighted the positives from DeCosta’s tenure, the areas of issue and things he’s had to navigate. At the end, we asked the simple and defining question: “Do you approve of the job Eric DeCosta is doing as the Ravens’ General Manager?”
The votes are in and by far and away, DeCosta has the approval of the fanbase.
DeCosta is one of the NFL’s best General Managers....
One signing stands above the rest.
The Baltimore Ravens are rarely big players in free agency, opting instead to build their roster through the draft while spending to retain homegrown talent. This was true under legendary general manager Ozzie Newsome and remained the status quo with the transition to Eric DeCosta in 2019. This does not mean that DeCosta has not made several key signings over the years, though.
Today’s Question of the Day is:
My answer: Derrick Henry
DeCosta has made several strong signings...
How will the Ravens fare in each game of their 2025 schedule?
The Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 schedule is now officially released. While the team’s final roster is a long way from being finalized, all 17 of their opponents and matchups are set in stone.
The Ravens have one of the league’s more difficult schedules. Based on opponents win percentages from last season, the Ravens’ face the ninth-hardest draw of any team. In their continued quest to break through their postseason wall, Lamar Jackson and company will play eight returning playoff teams and the entire NFC North division.
While the start...
PFF created an All-PFF team based on the last 25 years and multiple Ravens earned a spot
With the 2025 season on the cusp, the analytic outlet Pro Football Focus (PFF) has released its All-PFF team for the last 25 years of play. Hate them or swear by them, PFF has been a consistent grading platform for NFL play since they began grading games in 2006.
I find that PFF is generally pretty accurate between both trenches and offensive play, but it’s harder to accurately grade defensive plays without knowing the call — making their grading system on defensive players...
Last year, the Ravens opened the season against the Chiefs, who were labeled the “worst possible matchup at the worst possible time.” Will the Ravens avoid doing so a second time?
Last season, the Baltimore Ravens opened the season on the road against the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. Two of the NFL’s super powers — with their superstar quarterbacks — went toe-to-toe. The game even decided by a toe, with Isaiah Likely being an inch from scoring a touchdown that would’ve allowed the Ravens to tie or go for the win.
The game was a heartbreaker...
Which games on the 2025 schedule will be the easiest and hardest for the Ravens?
Following the official NFL schedule release for the 2025 season, the Baltimore Ravens’ 17 matchups for the upcoming year are now set. The Ravens have the ninth-most difficult schedule for 2025, based on the win percentages of each team from last year.
Every contest is more difficult or easier than others, on paper, based on various different factors. When going through the entire Ravens’ schedule for the new season, which games profile as the most challenging? Let’s rank every game in order from easiest to...
