Quarterback: C+

Lamar Jackson’s second game back in action was less eventful than his debut return last week. It wasn’t his finest statistical showing, as he completed under 60% of his 29 pass attempts and threw only one touchdown with 176 passing yards. It didn’t help that his pass-catchers dropped a few passes that would have led to more yardage and possibly more points, too. Jackson did scamper for 36 yards on the ground and picked up a key third down conversion in the red zone late in the game. He handled Minnesota’s pass rush pretty well and took only...

In Lamar Jackson’s 100th career start, the Baltimore Ravens forced three turnovers and played a clean game on offense to beat the Minnesota Vikings, 27-19, for their third straight win.

The Ravens are now 4-5 on the season and could be one game out of first place in the AFC North by the end of the weekend if the Steelers fall to the Chargers on Sunday Night Football. Jackson is now 73-27 is his career, trailing only Patrick Mahomes (78), Tom Brady (76), and Roger Staubach (76) for most wins by a quarterback in their first 100 starts.

The difference...

The Baltimore Ravens have won three straight games coming off their bye and with a huge AFC playoff race game on Sunday night, they could be within striking distance of the AFC North lead by Monday morning.

The AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers play the wild card-leading Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football, and with a Steelers loss, Baltimore would be one game back in the division. And the Ravens and Steelers still have two games against each other in 2025.

The Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars both lost in the wild card picture. It’s going to be a wild...

The Baltimore Ravens notched their third straight win with a 27-19 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Here are the instant reactions from Baltimore Beatdown’s staff:

Was it pretty? Absolutely not. The Ravens left a ton of plays on the field on Sunday afternoon, especially on offense, but a win is a win, especially for this team. The defense played a clean game outside of some ticky-tack pass interference, and they forced J.J. McCarthy into plenty of mistakes, including two field goals. Baltimore’s special teams coverage was ferocious, forcing two fumbles on kickoffs, though only one was recovered. The offense...

The Baltimore Ravens are down by just one point heading into halftime against the Minnesota Vikings. Here are the first-half reactions from Baltimore Beatdown’s staff:

The Vikings have looked like the better team so far, but a Malaki Starks interception and Dallas Turner roughing the passer penalty helped the Ravens close the gap by the end of the half. A stop to open the third quarter could set Baltimore up to take control of the game on their next drive. – Nikhil Mehta

Todd Monken hasn’t been able to get the offense going in the first half for...

A fully healthy 53-man roster forced the Baltimore Ravens to list six players as healthy scratches for their Week 10 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

Rookie defensive tackle Aeneas Peebles was deactivated for the fourth game in a row in favor of practice squad elevation Taven Bryan. Despite flashing in limited reps to start the year, Peebles has disappeared from the Ravens’ game day plans.

Defensive coordinator Zach Orr referenced a need for “bigger bodies” when asked about Peebles this week, presumably to bolster a run defense that was unusually porous to start the season. In Baltimore’s first five games,...

Flock Nation is starting to believe in the Ravens again.

Fan confidence has risen to 53%, according to the latest SB Nation Reacts survey, up from 23% two weeks ago and the highest mark since Week 3.

It has been a trying year in Baltimore. Super Bowl expectations evaporated with a slew of injuries to key players in the first four weeks of the season. The Ravens went 1-3 in that period, turning fans’ focus from getting through the postseason to getting to the postseason. Lamar Jackson exited Baltimore’s Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, which dropped fan confidence into...

The Ravens look to start a win streak with three in a row heading to Minnesota. After a 10-day break following a Thursday night game, how should the Ravens be prepared to face the Vikings?

1) Be ready for the blitz

We all know the story of last time Lamar Jackson played Brian Flores. The infamous “cover zero” game in Miami became the new blueprint narrative to stopping Jackson. On a short week, Flores had his defense blitz on over 60% during Jackson’s dropbacks, and it worked. Of course, that was years ago in 2021 and with a...

Coming off back-to-back wins for the first time this season, the Baltimore Ravens will look to extend their streak against the Minnesota Vikings on the road this Sunday. The crew of Baltimore Beatdown gives their bold predictions for the Week 10 matchup.

The Ravens run for over 200 yards against the Vikings.

It used to be a foregone conclusion that Baltimore would run for at least 150 yards every game. But in 2025, the once-dominant ground game of the Ravens has failed to get into gear. Baltimore hasn’t run for over 200 yards since Week 1 against the Buffalo...

The Baltimore Ravens added cornerback Marlon Humphrey to their Week 10 injury report, but neither he nor any other players have an injury designation for Sunday’s matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Humphrey picked up a finger injury this week but was still a full participant in Friday’s practice. Ronnie Stanley received a rest day after dealing with an ankle injury for most of October.

This is the second week in a row that the Ravens have not listed a single player with a game designation, a remarkable shift from the lengthy injury reports earlier this season. Yes, a few key...

The rookies had a short week in Week 9, traveling to Miami for their Thursday Nigh tFootball debut. It was also the first time the Ravens won back-to-back games in 2025. With all the pressure on the team to win games and go on a run to save the season, let’s see how the rookies handled it.

Malaki Starks

Malaki Starks had his best day as a pro. A week ago, I asked readers to be patient with Starks. In Miami, he delivered a performance that should hopefully silence some of the critics. Starks was the highest graded...
