Lamar Jackson hasn’t played a lot of bad football since he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2018 but when he does, it certainly affects the outcome.

At one point during the 1-5 start, the Baltimore Ravens defense ranked last in the NFL. With better health, better play and the addition of two veterans by Eric DeCosta, the defense of Zach Orr appears much improved and poised to lead the team while the offense continues to try to find some rhythm behind a gimpy franchise quarterback. Luke Jones and Nestor get defensive about the marked improvement and the emergence of key young players.

/

There’s no explosiveness but there are five wins in a row to stack up for the Baltimore Ravens and a piece of first place on Thanksgiving is certainly more than acceptable.

The Ravens’ unique path to a playoff run comes now

It was ugly a few weeks ago when the Baltimore Ravens were 1-5 and heavily injured.

Celebrating the purple positivity of three consecutive Ravens wins

The record says the Baltimore Ravens are 4-5 but Luke Jones and Nestor go all “Baltimore Positive” in celebrating three wins in a row for the men of John Harbaugh after another win over the Minnesota Vikings and the possibilities of a AFC North title.

Can we trust an “honest” mistake from an inherently dishonest organization?

The fiasco over putting Lamar Jackson as a “full” participant on a Friday afternoon injury report when he ran scout team and they knew he wasn’t going to start on Sunday has just begun for John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens. His “excuse” was far less than believable as Luke Jones and Nestor also take general manager Eric DeCosta to task for pushing the gambling line five points on a Saturday in the NFL with pretty blatant dishonesty and “gamesmanship” for no one.
