Are the Ravens ever going to throw the ball more?
In an easy victory over the Cleveland Browns, Lamar Jackson was a very efficient 15-of-19 throwing the football but Luke Jones and Nestor wonder if Todd Monken feels like he really needs to do more in the passing game. So far, so good.

Been quite a week for our Luke Jones who reported on the death of Brooks Robinson, the Clinchmas night at Camden Yards and another week of infirmary reports from Owings Mills as the Ravens head to Cleveland.

With the Ravens offense missing key starters at every level, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the play of the $260 million quarterback and what Todd Monken – and the fans – expect from him on Sunday afternoons?

A sloppy loss on a sloppy day brings plenty of questions for Ravens
Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Ravens’ ugly 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts and the many squandered opportunities and mistakes that cost the men of Harbaugh the game.
Three was not a magic number for Harbaugh and Ravens in hideous loss to Colts
At the clock struck four – and with the dreaded and departed Colts of the Irsay family proving peskier than we thought – it was the Orioles who whittled their Magic Number down to three. And it was the Baltimore Ravens who needed the magic trey that never came from the foot of Justin Tucker to win the game. Read #ColumnNes here.
