This game has much to be desired.  On the one hand, the Ravens are riding a two-game win streak after starting the season 0-2.  On the other hand, the Bengals loss three straight, but were able to get their first win of the season last week against a less-talented squad in the Carolina Panthers.  So, we can safely say both teams could slowly be trending upward.  However, this game is a little different.  This will be the first AFC North divisional game for the year.

Ravens have outscore their last two opponents 65-35 and have led the league with over 1700 total yards of offense.  Lamar Jackson is 8-2 all time against the Bengals in his career, while Burrow is just 3-4.  Will the Ravens get their third consecutive win? Can the Bengals stop Derrick Henry? Will Joe Burrow expose the Ravens secondary?  All this and more on another episode.

It would take just one play from the offense on the first drive to establish the tone for this game. Derrick Henry's first play from scrimmage would go for 87 yards to the house. He would end the night with over 200 total yards of offense and two total touchdowns.  Lamar Jackson was also sensational, and as the unquestionable leader of this team, it's only up from here.  The Ravens would steam roll the Bills as they cruise to a 35-10 win.

Now with that being said, will the Ravens finally accept that running the ball down their opponents throats is simply, THEIR IDENTITY?  They lead the league in not only running the ball but defending the run as well.  This offense will be lethal if teams are unable to defend it.  On the other hand, were the Bills exposed? How big was this loss to the Bills? Are my Ravens the "best" team in the AFC?  All this and more on another exciting episode!!

Ravens are set to host the Bills in a 'Sunday Night Delight'.  The Bills will enter M&T Bank Stadium undefeated led by their franchise Quarterback, Josh Allen, seeking to improve to 4-0.  This may be short-lived if the Ravens can get their same second straight win of the season, and first at home.  Ravens fell short in a close one in their 2024 home opener against the Raiders in dramatic fashion.  So, we all know they will be looking for retribution this time around.

Lamar holds a 2-1 record over Josh Allen all time in their 3 meetings (excluding the playoffs).  The last meeting between the Ravens and the Bills was at M&T Bank Stadium in 2023, and the Ravens would lose a close one 23-20.  That was not a good game for Lamar and the Ravens, as he threw 2 interceptions, and the Ravens were held scoreless in the second half.

In tonight's match-up the Bills still appear to hold the upper hand, however will they be able to be an offensive juggernaut missing their two biggest threats: Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis? Will the Ravens offensive line continue their success despite the early struggle? Can the Bills stop the Ravens #2 ranked rush attack with King Henry in the backfield? All this and much more as I preview the Ravens/Bills.

The Ravens win in dominate fashion in Dallas, although it appeared they were mounting a comeback.  The offensive line issues were put to the side, at least for this game.  We'd have to see if this formula will continue as the Ravens will face two formidable opponents.  With that being said, there was a lot of positive coming out of the first win for the 2024 campaign.

As in all things, there are still some areas of concern.  One being, Justin Tucker possibly losing his "mojo" or could it all be a mental lapse.  Second, penalties have not been in the favor of Baltimore this season.  They have committed over 25 negating just under 300 yards to their opponents.  What are the areas of concern? What or Who should be held responsible? I will discuss the key takeaways from this game.

Last week the Ravens would lead the Raiders 23-13 before surrendering and ultimately losing the game.  It was all too familiar for Ravens fans to see yet another 4th quarter lead erased by the Ravens.  Not only have this been an issue, but the offensive identity of this team have haunted them for the past several seasons.  

Now they head down to the D-Town, home of the "America's Team" Dallas Cowboys, in hopes of digging out of a 0-2 deficit.  Both teams will actually be looking to capitalize on the other since both suffered losses in Week 2.   The Cowboys have given up 283 yards on the ground against their last two opponents. This should be advantage Ravens, especially since they lead the league in allowing just 99 yards rushing to their opponents.  Most of the biggest question will be how the Ravens offensive line will hold up against the likes of: Micah Parsons and Damarcus Lawrence.

Join on the 4th episode of The Purple Pride Power Hour Podcast as I discuss the keys to the Ravens victory as they try to avoid an 0-3 start.

In today's episode of the Purple Pride Power Hour podcast, I will give my perspective on the state of the Ravens, as they start their 2024 campaign with an overall record of 0-2.  They would lose a close one against Gardner Minshew and the Las Vegas Raiders at home! This would not only our second consecutive loss this season, but the second time they would lose to Gardner Minshew.  Last time, it was in overtime last year when he was the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts.

There are several takeaways from this game that will be discussed: offensive line issues, pass defense, penalties, and the foolish challenges made by Head Coach John Harbaugh.  Should Harbaugh be on the hot seat?  Are the Ravens Superbowl window closing?  All this and more will be discussed.

The Ravens took a tough loss against the defending back-to-back Superbowl Champs, the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead.  It was a nail-biter down the end when Isaiah Likely appeared to have scored a game-tying touchdown, and appeared to have been going for the 2-point conversion for the win.  However, they would come up short by the TOE of Likely's cleat.  

This week the Ravens will host the Las Vegas Raiders for the 8th time in their history.  Ravens hold a 9-4 all-time record against them, and have dominated them at home holding a 6-1 record.  Their last loss came in Vegas back in 2021 when they lost a close one in overtime.

This is a game the Ravens should win and dominate.  However, there are several questions that need to be answered concerning their offensive line, secondary, and even how Derrick Henry will be used.  All this and more will be answered in another exciting episode of the Purple Pride Power Hour Podcast

What a thrilling season opener, the Baltimore Ravens fell just short against the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead, with the game ultimately decided by the narrowest of margins. Both quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, showcased their elite skills, delivering impressive performances that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Rookie Xavier Worthy scored twice (one on the ground, one in the air), and King Henry got his first touchdown as a Raven.  Mahomes, however, emerged victorious in this nail-biter that was tightly contested throughout. The decisive moment came down to the toe-drag catch by Isiah Likely in the end zone, which ultimately sealed the game for Kansas City.
