Lamar Jackson will play on Sunday night in Pittsburgh but will that be the difference in a playoff berth for the Baltimore Ravens? Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the long, mediocre roads that lead the two franchises toward a massive game that will define more than who gets to play a home next weekend as the AFC North champs.
It’s such a significant game because it will define what has been a confounding, deflating and defeated season for the Baltimore Ravens. After a 1-5 start, fumbles and mistakes and blown defenses – not to mention an injured version of Lamar Jackson for much of the season – John Harbaugh and the men in purple have a chance to fix it all in Pittsburgh. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what happens if they’re not discussing a playoff game in Baltimore next weekend.

Ronnie Stanley surprised to see Ravens offense still searching for consistency so late in season
It’s all sitting there for the former 1-5 squad. Now, after five in a row against the JV, can the Ravens improve and earn their way through the thickest part of a playoff march with Lamar Jackson nursing a bad wheel? You bring the turkey and I’ll bring the pumpkin pie and we’ll find out.
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.

It’s not a “homer” vibe to think that the one-time 1-5 Baltimore Ravens are now the favorites to win the AFC North. Most of the NFL sees the remaining schedule and starts penciling in wins for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss that it won’t be easy but it’s all certainly sitting right there in a carousel NFL season.
It was ugly a few weeks ago when the Baltimore Ravens were 1-5 and heavily injured. But, three wins in a row has fumigated the terrible start, and Luke Jones and Nestor assess the current reality of a weak schedule and a middling pack of AFC playoff hopefuls that still has Owings Mills believing in a January Super Bowl run.

It’s been a much better month for health and results but is this team really a Super Bowl contender?
