Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens defeated the New York Jets by a score of 23-10 on Sunday afternoon. The Ravens move to 6-5 and could take over first place in the AFC North if the Bears can close out a win over the Steelers. It was an uninspiring victory, but a victory nonetheless. Here are the reactions from Baltimore Beatdown’s staff:
The Ravens just don’t know how to win unless they win ugly. That was the case on Sunday afternoon, when a 13-point margin of victory does not properly represent an uninspiring performance from the Ravens offense. Neither Lamar Jackson nor...

The Baltimore Ravens are trailing the New York Jets at halftime by a score of 7-3. Here are the latest reactions from Baltimore Beatdown’s staff.
The stats say it all: the Ravens offense is bad. Lamar Jackson looks out of sorts, again, and the running game can’t get going, again. Another botched sequence in the red zone on Baltimore’s only decent drive of the half is emblematic of the problems facing this team. They refuse to get out of their own way and turn every matchup into a dogfight, no matter how good they should be. This is just...

Baltimore Ravens rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones will make his NFL debut against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon.
The Ravens are keeping Jones active in favor of Ben Cleveland, who served as the team’s backup guard and occasional sixth offensive lineman for the first 10 games of the season. Cleveland’s secondary role could be why Baltimore tapped Joe Noteboom to be the swing tackle after giving Carson Vinson the nod in the last two weeks. Noteboom has taken the rest of the offense’s sixth-OL snaps; with Cleveland out, the team needs Noteboom if they want to run any...

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens finally return home after a long three-game road trip. After narrowly escaping the Browns in Cleveland last week, how can the Ravens avoid falling to an opponent where they are double digit favorites?
We can be honest. Lamar Jackson hasn’t been sharp since his return. A second-half performance against Miami is about it. There are a multitude of reasons for this, including health, poor O-line play, and some questionable play-calls. But Jackson himself hasn’t looked his sharpest, either. That doesn’t mean he’s no longer the best quarterback in...

The Baltimore Ravens are taking on the New York Jets at home in Week 12 with the hopes of pushing their record above .500 for the first time this season. A win on Sunday afternoon paired with a Steelers loss to the Bears – also in the early window – would put the Ravens in first place in the AFC North.

The Baltimore Ravens will look to win their fifth game in a row this Sunday as they take on the New York Jets. The staff of Baltimore Beatdown gives their bold predictions for the AFC clash.
In Lamar Jackson’s return home, we finally see the Ravens put up 40 points once more. The run game struggles against an above-average run defense, but Jackson finds his form once more against a man-blitzing defense. Jackson shreds the Jets for 300-plus yards, spreading the ball out with nine different players recording a catch in this game. Isaiah Likely, in particular, is big...

Welcome back to another edition of 5 Questions, a weekly collaboration with other SB Nation sites to preview the Ravens’ upcoming matchups. This week, the Ravens are playing the New York Jets so MacGregor Wells of Gang Green Nation is on hand to answer Baltimore Beatdown’s questions about Week 12.
**1. Since 2009, when the Jets hired ex-Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan as their head coach, they have generally fielded strong defenses. It seems like the team still has a defense-first philosophy based on their last few head coach hires, but how does that comport with trading away two of...

The Ravens won their fourth consecutive game last week, grinding out a 23-16 win over the Browns for a series sweep over their division rival. Baltimore’s offense struggled for much of the game, and they were victimized by special teams miscues. Fortunately, the last phase of the game — defense — picked up the slack.
Zach Orr’s unit continued their midseason turnaround with a stifling performance against two rookie quarterbacks, who were flustered by the Ravens’ blitz packages and secondary. To win their fifth straight contest, the Ravens will need to take care of business against...
