  1. Willie Henry did not get the start in Sundayâs 26-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium, but the Ravensâ second-year defensive tackle might have earned himself some consideration for such a role in the future. Henry was one of only three defensive players to hit Ben Roethlisberger,... View the full article
  2. With the Ravens about to embark on their first West Coast trip in two years, facing the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, we thought weâd take a look at how theyâve fared on the road under coach John Harbaugh. The Ravens were close to .500 on the road under Harbaugh until the 2015 and 2016 nonplayoff... View the full article
  3. The past two Ravens games werenât just losses. They were embarrassments. Regardless, itâs way too early to predict the outcome of 2017 for the Ravens. There are some bad signs. The offense is ineffective and the quarterback play has been bad. There have been no consistent playmakers and theyâve... View the full article
  4. The veteran passer is off to the worst start of his NFL career. View the full article
  5. Ravens coach John Harbaugh didnât spent time Monday listening to the outside opinions and hot takes about the state of his football team after a 26-9 home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Heâs been around the game long enough, though, to know that when the offense is struggling, the quarterback... View the full article
  6. Through the first three games of the preseason, Jaylen Hill was the talk of Ravens training camp, leading the defense with a pair of interceptions. But then the rookie cornerback injured his hamstring before the preseason finale at the New Orleans Saints on Aug. 31 and has yet to return to the... View the full article
  7. Derek Carr took the apart the Ravens defense in back-to-back seasons, throwing for 550 yards and seven touchdown passes in Oakland Raidersâ victories in 2015 and 2016. However, the Ravens wonât have to deal with the standout quarterback Sunday. Raiders coach Jack Del Rio announced Monday that Carr,... View the full article

  9. For the second time in three games, Ravens running back Alex Collins lost a fumble, marring a nine-carry, 82-yard performance. Unlike his first fumble in a 24-10 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 17, Collinsâ fumble in the second quarter of Sundayâs 26-9 loss to the Steelers contributed to... View the full article

  11. Big plays are the objective for every offense and the bane for every defense. And they are now a concern for the Ravensâ defense. In Sundayâs 26-9 loss to the Steelers, the defense surrendered 15 plays of 10 yards or more and 12 plays of at least 15 yards â both of which are season highs. Twelve... View the full article
  12. Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley has had an unpleasant past two days. On Sunday, the Ravens were booed during a prayer for the embrace of âkindness, unity, equality and justice for all Americansâ before the national anthem at M&t Bank Stadium. This irked Stanley. Then the Ravens lost to the Pittsburgh... View the full article
  13. Itâs understandable that some Ravens players were frustrated by the fan response when the team took a collective knee before Sundayâs game against the Steelers, and itâs also understandable why a large part of the crowd booed before they realized the team planned to stand back up for the national...

  14. 1) Joe Flacco and the Ravensâ offense are going nowhere good. For two years now, weâve heard Flacco and the teamâs coaches talk about how theyâre a few lapsed plays away from unlocking a consistent offense. But those missed chances â a seemingly sure touchdown flung well over Breshad Perrimanâs... View the full article
  15. Quarterback: Joe Flacco seemed to heat up in the third quarter, but his two interceptions in the fourth were killers. Flacco got hit a lot, but he also held on to the ball too long several times. He should have thrown a better pass for a possible touchdown to wide receiver Breshad Perriman, but...

  16. The optimism and defiance that Joe Flacco exhibited Wednesday was mostly gone. He didnât offer a vehement defense of the offense or his own play. He didnât reference the few fleeting moments Sunday when the offense actually looked capable of mounting a drive against the Pittsburgh Steelers. What... View the full article
  17. The Ravens opened Sundayâs game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with third-string running back Alex Collins, a move that almost paid dividends. Usual starting running back Terrance West and backup Buck Allen were on the sidelines. Collins produced team highs in both rushing attempts (nine) and... View the full article
  18. If LeâVeon Bellâs 144-yard day was not bad enough, how the Pittsburgh Steelers running back compiled a significant portion of those yards in Sundayâs 26-9 victory over the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore was a point of frustration for the defense. Bellâs three longest runs of 21, 17 and... View the full article
  19. Regardless of having two straight strong drafts, the Ravens still donât have enough playmakers on offense and defense to beat the top teams. They have several players who can make big plays, but they donât do it consistently. There are no LeâVeon Bells, Antonio Browns or Ryan Shaziers on the Ravensâ... View the full article
  20. Key numbers from the Ravensâ 26-9 loss to the Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium in Week 4: 0: Players from the Ravens and Steelers who kneeled during the national anthem. 10: Consecutive games, dating to last season, that Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has thrown an interception. 16: Yards of the longest...

  21. How our reporters and editors saw the Ravensâ loss to the Steelers Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium: Jeff Zrebiec, reporter: They had a couple of moments in the third quarter, but this Ravens' offense appears broken. Joe Flacco continues to take a beating behind a patchwork offensive line and even when... View the full article
  22. The boos started in pregame when before the national anthem, most of the Ravens players took a knee in a prayer for âkindness, unity, equality and justice.â By the second quarter Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium, the derision and scorn was directed at the Ravensâ offense, which was brutal for a second...

  23. With Brandon Williams out for the Ravensâ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Willie Henry could make his first career NFL start at Williamsâ defensive tackle spot. Carl Davis played primarily in Williamsâ place in Sundayâs 44-7 loss to the Jacksonville... View the full article
  24. The Ray Lewis statue outside the north end of M&T Bank Stadium is still there and a steady stream of fans in both Ravens and Steelers gear stopped to take photos in front of it. If some kind of demonstration was in the works two hours before game time on Sunday, there were some fans in patriotic... View the full article
  25. Prior to last Christmas Day, the Ravens had defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in three consecutive games. Overall, Pittsburgh owns a 22-20 advantage in the regular-season series. But the Ravens have won five of the last six games played in Baltimore against the Steelers. The Ravens are aiming to... View the full article
