AFC North Recap: Week 11

AFC North Recap: Week 11

Week 11 of the NFL season saw two separate AFC North showdowns with the Browns hosting the Ravens and the Bengals visiting the Steelers. Here’s how the two games shook out:


Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4)

The Pittsburgh Steelers got their revenge on the Cincinnati Bengals in a 34-12 beatdown in Week 11 to maintain a one-game lead in the division. The story after the game was the altercation between Jalen Ramsey and Ja’Marr Chase, which led to Ramsey being ejected after throwing a punch. Ramsey later accused Chase of spitting on him, and video evidence supported his claim. Chase...

Baltimore Ravens Week 11 Rookie Report

Baltimore Ravens Week 11 Rookie Report

In an ugly matchup against the Browns, the Ravens’ rookies helped to grind out one of the team’s toughest wins to date. Divisional games on the road are always difficult, no matter the opponent, so it’s good for rookies to get familiar with these matchups early. Here’s how they performed.


Malaki Starks

After a two-game breakout period, Starks had a quieter day against the Browns, but still contributed to one of the defense’s best performances of the season. Like most of his teammates, Starks struggled to tackle on the Browns’ second drive, leading to their field goal. After...

Is the Ravens’ offensive line as bad as it looks?

Is the Ravens’ offensive line as bad as it looks?

Arguably the most concerning development of the Ravens 2025 season has been the below average play of their offensive line.

In 2024, the Ravens sported practically the same starting five across the line as they have this year — with the exception of Andrew Vorhees, who has stepped in for now Jacksonville Jaguars Patrick Mekari at left guard. Last season, the Ravens set records on the ground and through the air, leading to one of the most prolific offensive seasons in NFL history. Baltimore was a Top 5 offense in rushing success rate, EPA per play, and yards before contact...

Baltimore Ravens Week 12 injury report: Lamar Jackson, 7 others absent

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury, per the team’s official injury report. Six other starters were listed as non-participants, along with undrafted rookie cornerback Keyon Martin, who has made a number of key plays in the last two games.

Jackson was sidelined for the Ravens’ first practice of Week 11 and quickly returned to full participation in the next two days. After practice, head coach John Harbaugh said that this week was the “same type of situation,” implying that the two-time MVP will return to practice on Thursday. However, Harbaugh declined to confirm that...

Baltimore Ravens Week 12 odds: heavy favorites against the Jets

This is the biggest spread in a Ravens game this season. They have won three games by a margin of 14 points or more, two at home and one on the road, and will have a chance to do so again on Sunday. The Jets rank 25th in points scored and 27th in points allowed, but have only lost...

Injury updates, quotes, and other notes from the Ravens’ win over the Browns

The Baltimore Ravens walked out of Sunday’s matchup with the Cleveland Browns with a 23-16 victory on the back of a heroic defensive performance and a timely touchdown from tight end Mark Andrews. Here are the latest updates coming out of Week 11:


Injury Updates

The Ravens appear to have come out of Sunday’s game without any significant injuries. Cornerback Keyon Martin had to stay overnight at a Cleveland hospital to be evaluated for a chest injury, but John Harbaugh said on Monday that tests “came out negative, in a good way.”

Martin’s status will be one to...

Ravens Snap Count Analysis, Week 11: Expanded snaps for fill-in WRs and CBs

Offense

Lamar Jackson and the starting offensive line went the distance as per usual. Behind them, Justice Hill’s absence opened the door for Rasheen Ali to play a career-high 12 offensive snaps in the backfield. He caught one pass for 15 yards on a third down conversion in the first quarter. Keaton Mitchell’s 16 snaps were a season-high mark while Derrick Henry rushed 18 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in 33 snaps (54%).

At wide receiver, Deandre Hopkins’ snap count jumped to 42 (69%) in the No. 2 role with Rashod Bateman sidelined. Hopkins only caught one...

Baltimore Ravens lean on defense to overcome miscues in win over Cleveland Browns

Baltimore Ravens lean on defense to overcome miscues in win over Cleveland Browns

Miscues on offense and special teams held the Ravens back throughout their Week 11 matchup with the Browns, but a dominant defensive performance and a ‘Hurricane’ carried Baltimore to a 23-16 win.

Lamar Jackson was sacked five times and threw two batted-ball interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. The Ravens’ special teams gave the Browns the ball back twice via a muffed punt and an offsides penalty. Baltimore’s offense scored only once on four trips to the red zone and three goal-to-go situations. But time and time again, their defense stiffened up, battened down the hatches, and...
