Two teams in the AFC North emerged victorious in Week 9, while another suffered an all-too-common heartbreaker. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns enjoyed a week off.

Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3)

The Pittsburgh Steelers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 27-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

The Steelers’ defense has struggled for much of the season, but the unit stepped up big time with six turnovers against a red-hot Colts’ offense led by quarterback Daniel Jones. Jones has played like one of the league’s best quarterbacks in his first season in Indianapolis, but Pittsburgh made him look much more like the...

For the second day in a row, the Ravens had a blank injury report. All 53 players on the active roster are healthy and were full participants in practice on Monday and Tuesday.

There is little else to say about the Ravens’ good health at present. Of course, players can still be dealing with wear and tear on their bodies, but nothing is significant enough to limit them on the field.

Of the Vikings that did not practice on Wednesday due to injury, two participated in a limited capacity on Thursday: safety Theo Johnson and running back Aaron Jones. Cornerback...

Baltimore Ravens (3-5)

The Ravens won their second straight game last week with a 28-6 win over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. After getting off to a bit of a slow start, Lamar Jackson settled in to throw four touchdowns with a 143.2 passer rating in his first game back from injury.

Baltimore’s defensive continued their midseason improvement with a season-best performance in terms of points allowed. The Ravens forced three turnovers and had two sacks, two areas they’ve struggled in all season. As they’ve returned players from injury and worked in some new additions, the Ravens’ defense...

The Baltimore Ravens posted their first injury report for their Week 10 matchup with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday. Here is a full list:

No, that’s not a typo. The Ravens did not have a single player listed on their initial injury report this week, meaning all 53 players on the active roster are healthy. Obviously, that does not count Ravens on injured lists like Nnamdi Madubuike, Tavius Robinson, Broderick Washington, Adisa Isaac, and Ar’Darius Washington.

This week’s injury report is night and day from the long lists that were posted before the Ravens’ Week 8 bye. Players like...

Coming off two straight wins, including a dominant performance in Miami, the Baltimore Ravens (3-5) are 4.5-point favorites for their upcoming matchup with the Minnesota Vikings (4-4).

The Ravens are road favorites for a second week in a row, though the Vikings are obviously seen as a tougher test than the Dolphins. However, the return of Lamar Jackson and a resurgence from the defense have re-raised expectations in Baltimore and in Las Vegas.

Jackson has only played the Vikings once in his career, way back in 2021 when both teams were very different. That was the season before general manager...

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Ravens defensive back Alohi Gilman, whose arrival in Baltimore set the pace for a radical defensive improvement.

Most NFL trades don’t work out for both teams, but there are exceptions. Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff and the draft picks that helped the Detroit Lions build their current roster, while the Los Angeles Rams won their second Super Bowl with Stafford, who’s still playing at an...

The trade deadline is only a couple of hours away, and the Ravens still have work to do before 4 pm hits.

Baltimore made a great move yesterday by trading for Tennessee Titans edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones. While he isn’t a massive name and may not move the needle singlehandedly, he is exactly what the Ravens defense needs. Jones can ease the playing-time burden on Kyle Van Noy and Mike Green, and potentially Kyle Hamilton out of the box a little more, so he can stay healthier long-term.

But yesterday’s trade simply isn’t enough for this team if they want...

The Ravens acquired veteran edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones from the Titans in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth. Here are the latest reactions from Baltimore Beatdown’s staff:

This is a classic example of right player, right price. Jones is a known quantity off the edge with the size to flip inside for some pass-rushing situations. He has been a consistent player throughout his career against the pass and the run and immediately injects some much needed depth into Baltimore’s outside linebacker room. A Day 3 pick is a good price for a solid veteran...

The Baltimore Ravens are acquiring Dre’Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans to bolster their anemic pass rush and thin outside linebacker room, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

In exchange for the veteran edge rusher, the Ravens are sending a fifth-round pick to the Titans that could be upgraded to a fourth-rounder. He is owed $1.25 million for the remainder of the season, only $250,000 more than what the Ravens cleared with by trading Jaire Alexander on Saturday.

Jones was one of Baltimore Beatdown contributor Zach Canter’s top edge rusher targets ahead of Tuesday’s deadline:

Jones is probably the best...

The loss of Nnamdi Madubuike fundamentally altered the trajectory of the Ravens for this season and beyond. It changed everything they do on defense, and while Zach Orr has made some adjustments, it still depends on a safety staying healthy while playing a massive number of snaps lined up like a defensive end. Baltimore needs a different way to rush the passer to ease the burden on Hamilton and Travis Jones, and their run defense has not been as stout as usual, either.

The other aspect that some might not want to think about, but needs to be acknowledged, is...

Whether they want to admit it or not, the Ravens’ offensive line is not a championship-winning unit. Both guard spots are weaknesses that will get exposed more severely and consistently in the postseason, which is why an move now would give the new starting five a chance to gel.

Even just one upgrade at guard could unlock this offense. They could use some more power at the point of attack and reduce their drive-killing negative plays. Still, a trade feels unlikely, partially due to the Ravens’ stubbornness about their current guards and the technical difficulties in a mid-season offensive line...
