Quarterback: A–

Lamar Jackson began the game sharp with a long 38-yard, fourth-down touchdown pass on the opening drive. From there on, his passing production stagnated for most of the next two quarters and the offense scored only three points. Jackson had a couple throws deflected at the line of scrimmage, one of which was bounced into T.J. Watt’s arms for an interception. In the fourth quarter, Jackson put on his superman cape and came alive when the Ravens needed him most. He evaded sacks, played decisively, and made three crucial throws: the 50-yard and 64-yard touchdown passes to Zay...

The Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 season ended in the most horrifying, devastating fashion: a missed 44-yard field goal by rookie kicker Tyler Loop.

The Ravens entered Week 18 needing a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the AFC North and make the postseason. Despite barely resembling a playoff team for much of the season, they still had the chance to be one. Getting in the dance with Lamar Jackson under center would still give them an outside shot at a Lombardi Trophy.

But, as they have the entire year, the Ravens did not play like a team ready to make...

The Baltimore Ravens crushingly finished their season as the second place team in the AFC North which locks in their 2026 opponents.

The NFC has the extra home game in 2026, so there will be eight games in Baltimore and nine games on the road.

As always, the Ravens will play the AFC North teams twice with two games against the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers

In addition to the normal AFC North gauntlet, the Ravens will play the members of the AFC South who sent two teams to the postseason in 2025....

The Baltimore Ravens were unceremoniously eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. We still don’t know what bigger changes might be happening in the organization, but for now we can take a look at the offseason assets.

The last time the Ravens picked 14th was certainly a banner year. In 2022, Kyle Hamilton was the 14th overall pick for Baltimore. Ronnie Stanley in 2016 was the last time the Ravens picked higher than 14.

The 2026 NFL Draft order is set for those teams that didn’t make the postseason. Here is the full list.

The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday night with rookie kicker Tyler Loop pushing a would-be game-winning field goal wide right. Here are the instant reactions from Baltimore Beatdown’s staff:

For anyone reading this who is shellshocked right now: me, too. You could spend an hour listing potential endings to the Ravens’ season and you wouldn’t get to this one. A ridiculous back-and-forth in the fourth quarter with not one, not two, but three miraculous plays by the Ravens offense put them in position to win. But just like the rest of their...

Zay Flowers came alive in the fourth quarter and the Baltimore Ravens rallied to take a late lead against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then they relinquished that lead, but drove the length of the field to set up a game-winning field goal attempt. Tyler Loop pushed it wide right and the Baltimore Ravens are headed home.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are fourth in the AFC and Baltimore is out of the playoffs.

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey will play through an illness on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Ravens’ list of inactives did not include Humphrey, who was added to the injury report late in the week with an illness. He was designated as questionable on Friday, but will take the field in Pittsburgh with the season on the line.

Baltimore will once again roll with four interior defensive linemen by sidelining rookie Aeneas Peebles. Undrafted rookie Keyon Martin will not be needed as the team’s No. 2 nickel with Humphrey active (and the Ravens’ safeties frequently lining up in...

Tonight, the Baltimore Ravens take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a season- and perhaps era-defining gam for both franchises. The winner will walk away with the AFC North crown and a playoff berth. The loser will head straight into the offseason with major questions about their coaching staff.

The Ravens will have Lamar Jackson back on the field, while T.J. Watt is returning for the Steelers. Pittsburgh is still without star wide receiver D.K. Metcalf, who gave Baltimore’s secondary plenty of problems in their first matchup.

The Ravens did not show up for that game until midway through the third...

Tonight’s matchup between the Ravens and the Steelers might be the most consequential game in the history of this rivalry.

Sure, the two teams met in the 2008 AFC Championship Game with a Super Bowl appearance on the line, but you could argue that the stakes will be even higher on Sunday night. This game will not just determine the winner of the AFC North and the No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs. It could determine the future of both franchises.

Homegrown whispers of moving on from John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin have finally emerged from Baltimore and Pittsburgh...

The Buffalo Bills already had a playoff spot clinched entering Week 18, so they pulled several key starters early in the game. As such, running back James Cook only added 15 yards on Sunday. That opens the door for Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry to take the NFL rushing title with a late push.

At kickoff, Derrick Henry will need 152 yards to tie Cook for the league lead. Henry has hit that total twice this season.

Cook has 1621 yards with Jonathan Taylor as 1585 yards ahead of Henry with 1469 through 17 games.

Henry has been the...

The Baltimore Ravens have a season-defining matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Here are Baltimore Beatdown’s bold predictions for tonight’s game:

The Ravens have a way of surprising their fans in the worst ways. Tonight, that would be leaning on Derrick Henry and rushing for over 200 yards as a team but still finding a way to lose. It may not be fair to call that a bold prediction – it’s happened twice already this year. One of those games was the first matchup against the Steelers, in which the Ravens didn’t show up until midway through...
