1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan Ink 2 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: here with Garrett Downing and we are gonna give you 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: our initial breakdown from the Ravens dominant thirty one to 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: two win over the Houston Texans. Merry Christmas, y'all. You 5 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: got a really good Ravens team to root for this year. 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Ravens are certainly Ravens fans are 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: enjoying this team plan on Christmas. Good things seem to 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: happen when the Ravens playing Christmas. You get these dominant 9 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: victories in games that are a preview of potential playoff matchups, 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: and it's just an exciting way to cap off the day. 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: Like when your team plays on Christmas, it has the 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: potential to make it a great day or ruin the holiday. 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 2: And for two straight years, Ravens fans are going to 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: bed happy after a great Christmas. And Santsa came even 15 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: before the game started for the Ravens. He came earlier 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: when the Chiefs played, When the Chiefs and the Steelers 17 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: matched up, and the Chiefs did, the Ravens are favor 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: So now the Ravens control their own destiny. And then 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: the Ravens go take care of business. They win in 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: a dominant fashion, maybe their best overall performance of the season, 21 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: and now they control their own destiny when next week 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: and the Ravens win the AFC North title. 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty awesome, pretty awesome showing. Do you hope that 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: the Ravens play on Christmas again? 25 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: It started to don't push your luck. I mean, I 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: don't know, I know, it's it's tough to say that. 27 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: The Christmas games are tough, especially on the road for 28 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: everyone who has to be there. But it's it's gone 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: pretty well for this team. They certainly play well on Christmas. 30 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: Whatever the Ravens do. They had the big team dinner 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: on Monday, getting ready really nice, had all the all 32 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: the fixings, all the fancy stuff, the. 33 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: Sushi, the steak. Oh yeah, oh I partook. It was excellent. 34 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. So they had all that going into the game, 35 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: so that got them in the right mindset and then 36 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: they delivered with the dominant performance today. It was it 37 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: was awesome. It really was like this this team. This 38 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: game showed once again, I think the overall depth that 39 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: this team has and the top line level of play 40 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: that their k pole love. They dominated honestly, from start 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: to finish. 42 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, the biggest uh, the biggest takeaway was 43 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: the defense. They pitched a shutout against c J. Stroud 44 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: and this Texans offense. That okay, sure, yeah, they they 45 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: lost you know, Tank Dell, They've suffered some injuries and whatnot. 46 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: Obviously Stefan Diggs earlier this year, but this is still CJ. Stroud, 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: Nico Collins one of the best wide receivers, and c J. 48 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: Stroud one of the most talented quarterbacks. Now, I don't 49 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: think Stroud played his best games game. You know, he 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: missed some open throws. But the defense, the Ravens defense 51 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: forced a lot of that trouble. Got a takeaway with 52 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's diving interception to start in the second half, 53 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: Ardarius Washington with a goal line stand. After the whole 54 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, safety punt and the Texans that was really 55 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: the only time they moved the ball was they got 56 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: it down to the goal line. Ardarius Washington comes up 57 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: big time with a huge hit on Joe Mixon and 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: then you get five sacks from five different guys. So 59 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: all around, the word of the day is dominant. Dominant 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: performance by this defense to pitch a shut out. It 61 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: was they gave up two points, but the Ravens defense 62 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: was only handing out coal. That's all they were handed 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: out today. 64 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: Okay, not points, Yeah, yeah, the two points came on 65 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: the offense Van it was the safety on Derrick Hennery. 66 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: Defense didn't give up anything. They finished this game with 67 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: five sacks, no points, and that interception, and it was 68 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: the best we've seen. And we've talked over the last 69 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: month about how this defense has turned a corner and 70 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: how the arrow is pointing up. And there's always like 71 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: the question, right, it's like, well, can you do it 72 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: against a better team? You look good against Giants, but 73 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: how's it going to look against one of these playoff 74 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: teams like the Steelers or the Texans. How you gonna 75 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: do in that type of the setting. And I think, honestly, 76 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: the jury's out at this point, and I know it's 77 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: a week to week league, but defense is good. It's 78 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: not just that this defense is holding water for the 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: offense and is basically it's not that it's not this 80 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: point where it's just like, don't screw it up, defense 81 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: and the offense will take it from there. No, this 82 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: defense is a strength They've really rounded into form bringing 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: pressure from a pass rush standpoint. They have playmakers on 84 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: the back end. They're the star players of this team 85 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: have elevated to an even greater level. Kyle Hamilton today, 86 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: Marlon Humphrey last week. And so this defense is a strength. 87 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: And I think that we all felt that if this, 88 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: if the defense could could improve a little bit, then 89 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: this team had what it took to win a championship. 90 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: And the defense has improved a lot. It's not just 91 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: a marginal improvement. This defense has made drastic strides from 92 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: where they were the first month of the season. Give 93 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: Zach Orton a credit, yeah, and the players, of course, Yeah, 94 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: zach Orr. 95 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: You know that he's he's the coordinator, and he was 96 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: under a lot of heat earlier this season, and gosh, 97 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: credit to him for really help getting things turned around. 98 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: And yeah, like you said, the players, I mean, obviously, 99 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: the personnel changes that the Ravens made made a huge difference. 100 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: Putting Kyle Hamilton back in a more traditional deep safety role, 101 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: inserting our Dreus Washington's you know, over Marcus Williams, and 102 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: then at linebacker two, you know, you put in MALIEK. 103 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: Harrison and Chris Board stepping in for Trent and Simpson. 104 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: You know, those were not easy decisions to make, change 105 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: in the starting lineup, changing you know something out guys 106 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: who are really accomplished, young players who are sending that 107 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: you're really excited about, Like, those are not necessarily easy 108 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: calls to make, but the Ravens made them, and gosh, 109 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: they have really paid off for this unit, and it's 110 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: just it's all come together. And I agree with you. 111 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: Now when you think about facing the Baltimore Ravens in 112 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs, which these teams will be and the Texans 113 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: are going to remember this one, you know, you're not 114 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: just thinking how do we stop Lamar Jackson this offense? 115 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, we have a defensive problem too. 116 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, totally. By the way, we talked about Zach Orr. 117 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: Did you catch after the ar Darius Washington's fourth down stop? 118 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: The defense gets him off the field, He's running over 119 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: doing the little dance and a coach comes Frock flying 120 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 2: in the celeb Right, it just flies across the screen. 121 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 2: I hadn't rewind it like three times. Wait, who was that? 122 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 2: It was Zach Game flying through there. I can't wait 123 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: to talk to Zach about that. I'm sure, I'm sure 124 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: that the guys were giving him a hard time and 125 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: laughing about that. But that was that was a pretty 126 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: funny moment. 127 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: If you ever needed evidence that Zach Worr's playing days 128 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 3: were over, that was it. 129 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: That was shot. He just flew through the screen. 130 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: Laughing. 131 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: Hey, Ardarius Washington, he's not he's not messing around. Got 132 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: the fumble last week, Yeah, got the big hit on 133 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: Joe Mixon. You don't you don't tempt Ardarius Washington, all right. 134 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: Honestly, like, Ardarius Washington is playing great football. He's he 135 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: had the interception against the Giants that was late in 136 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: the game, but he had the big fumble that changed 137 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 2: the game last week against the Steelers. You just mentioned 138 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 2: critical fourth down stop. And then he's just playing outside 139 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: of like the big plays that he's making, he's just 140 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: playing sound football and taking away big plays over the 141 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: middle of the field. These two safeties are playing awesome 142 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: right now. And let's also give a shout out to 143 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: the pass rush because they they they ramped it up 144 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: in this game. Kyle Van Noyd's now got eleven and 145 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 2: a half sacks on the season. It's a career high 146 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: for him and counting. He got the career high last 147 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: week and he's building off of that. Dafe Oway also 148 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: has a career high. He's got nine on the season, 149 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: so he's knocking on the door of joining KVN and 150 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: that double digit club. Like this, get this, get the sweatshirt, 151 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: get the sweatshirt. You're gonna get the double digit club 152 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: sweatshirt ready for him. I think that would be great 153 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: for me. 154 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: Noamdi got one. Gis Board got one, Roque got one. 155 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: It's good to see Nomdi, you know, kind of getting 156 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: in the box score. And so I agree with you. Yeah, 157 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: the pass rush is getting cranked up. Like I said, 158 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: A CJ. Stroud missed some throws, but this Ravens defensive 159 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: front just made him uncomfortable all day long. Yeah, you know, 160 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: I think that even even when he did have time, 161 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: it seemed like he was not feeling comfortable in that pocket. 162 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: And I don't blame him. I mean he took some shots. 163 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: Ohway got him on a play. It was clean hit, 164 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: but he was clearly shaken up on his arm. They 165 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: came out for a play on that game. It wasn't 166 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: a sack, but it was a big hit on another play, 167 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: I think it might have been Van Noy who pushed 168 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: the tackle back into him and stepped on his ankle, 169 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: so like I understand him not being comfortable in the pocket. 170 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: The Ravens were bringing pressure all game long, so it 171 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: was it was the kind of a defense of showing 172 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: that really reminded me of what the defense was for 173 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: the Ravens last year, where this defense was the best 174 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: in the best in the league, and it was swarming 175 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: and it was suffocating, it was hard to get a yard. 176 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: Like watching the defense today really reminded me of what 177 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: the defense was last year when I was the best 178 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 2: in football. And this defense the second half of the 179 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 2: season has has kind of become that for. 180 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: The ring When you look at yeah, when you look 181 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: at the advanced metrics, it's we're not blowing smoke here, 182 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: like this is is not just what our eyes are 183 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: telling us. This is what the stats say too, and 184 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: the advanced metrics is the Ravens defense in the Ravens 185 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: secondary or like top of the league in EPA. Since 186 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: after the Bengals game, you start with that Steelers game, 187 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: it's been now six games in a row they've been 188 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: like the best defense in the league, right, And they 189 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: talked about it going into the buy It's about getting 190 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: more takeaways and taking it to that kind of next 191 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: level red zone defense and takeaways is what they stressed. 192 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: They got the. 193 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: Interception today, they've been getting more takeaways, so you know, 194 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: obviously the pick six last week against Russell Wilson was 195 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: a pretty big play. And so yeah, I mean, any 196 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: way you want to slice it, this Ravens defense is 197 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: becoming really difficult to deal with. 198 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 2: Totally agree. 199 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: So, and it's against good offenses. I'm sorry to cut 200 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: you off. I mean, I mean, you look at it 201 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: the Steelers. The Steelers offense before the Ravens faced them, 202 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: even the first time, was pretty darn hot, right that 203 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: that offense was kind of rolling, and they've put up 204 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: some big performances, you know, kept them out of the 205 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: end zone entirely. In the first meeting, the Chargers handcuffed them. 206 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean the Eagles, Okay, like they won that game, 207 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: but it wasn't like a dominant Eagles offensive performance. They 208 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: put twenty four points up. 209 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the defense giant. Then in that Eagles game, 210 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: the defense really played well for the majority of that game. 211 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: Eagles got going late. Saque had some late success where 212 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: the offense was struggling, and then and then the Eagles 213 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: scored late in that game. So I still think overall, 214 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 2: especially when you considered the opponent there, that was a 215 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 2: pretty strong game for the d Yeah. 216 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 217 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: And then Giants dominated Steelers seventeen points dominated them, picked six, 218 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: basically won the game. 219 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 3: And then two points from the Texans is straight shut out. 220 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: I mean, these aren't like bad offenses, right, I mean, 221 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: I think the rate that deserves pointing out. 222 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: The biggest shock of the day, by the way, is 223 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: that thirty one to two. The final score is somehow 224 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 2: not a score Gomi. 225 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: We had the halftime score, Gami at seventeen to two. Yeah, 226 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: but you're right, not a shock. 227 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: I was that was unbelievable to me score. And by 228 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: the way, score, yeah, that did seem weird. I thought 229 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: that was a guarantee. I was like, okay, here we go, 230 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: because we got a couple of them last year. I 231 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: was like, this is the clear cut score Gami here 232 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 2: and by the way, score Gomi is a score that 233 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: that has never happened before. And I thought this one 234 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: was in the bank, but not so much. 235 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, let's take a break and when we come back, 236 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: we'll talk about the offensive performance that Lamar Jackson, Derreck 237 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: Henry and company put up against the Texans. 238 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Lounge podcast. We are coming to 239 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: you from the Sea Geek Studio. We also want to 240 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: give a shout out to our partners with DraftKings Sportsbook. 241 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: Draft Kings Sportsbook is an official sports betting partner of 242 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens Draftking Sportsbook. The Crown is Yours. 243 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: Well. 244 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson delivered another stellar performance in this game, and 245 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: he's having a remarkable season. And today really it was 246 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: his legs where he delivered the big plays and it 247 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: was fitting. He broke Michael Vick's record for the most 248 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: rushing yards by a quarterback in NFL history. And we've 249 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 2: been saying for years now that Lamar Jackson's the best 250 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: rushing quarterback the NFL has ever seen. Well, now he's 251 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 2: at the top of the record book. He's got the 252 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: stats to prove it that he's got that done, and 253 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: so credit to him. I think that's something I mean, 254 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: this is the guy that grew up cheering for Michael 255 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: Vick and really looking up to the way that he 256 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: played the game, and so for him to break that record, 257 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 2: it means something to Lamar. It's also note order that 258 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: Lamar did it in one hundred and two games. Michael 259 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: Vick played one hundred and forty three games in his career, 260 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: so Vic had a couple of seasons on him to 261 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: get that done. 262 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: So Vic, now, Lamar had more attempts. He had one 263 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: thousand and five attempts to Vix eight to seventy three. 264 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: Yeah he has more, yeah, yeah, right, more attempts, but 265 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: but nowhere near the number of games, of course, so 266 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 2: he's just going to keep adding to this this total. 267 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 2: But it's fitting to me that he breaks that record 268 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 2: in a game where he delivered big plays on the ground, 269 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: including that forty eight yard touchdown. 270 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 271 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean you said it. We've all known Lamar 272 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: is the best running quarterback in league history, and now 273 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: now this is the proof. 274 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean the electric. 275 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: Electric forty eight yard touchdown, I mean just exploded and 276 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: he was he was gone. And so you know, Lamar 277 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: hasn't and he only had four rushing attempts in this game. 278 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 3: You know he hasn't. He hasn't. 279 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: That was the season long was forty eight yards so 280 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: it's like, obviously he's been doing putting up great number 281 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: through the air and with his arm, but he hasn't 282 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: been necessarily finishing off teams with his legs. And but 283 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: you saw on that score like it's still there. 284 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 3: Don't you ever forget it. 285 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: If Lamar Jackson wants to turn on the Jets and 286 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: he gets a lane, he's gone. And so I thought, 287 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: really cool, really fitting Lamar. No surprise that he now 288 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: holds this title, and congrats to him. 289 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was it was the ground game overall 290 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 2: that got had done today. The Raves opened this game 291 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: and it's it's it's a ground and pound offense. It's 292 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: Derek Henry, it's Lamar Jackson. They marched right down the 293 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: field and they start this game with a drive that 294 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: was a beautiful drive by the offense overall. But again 295 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: it was the ground game that got rolling. Derek Henry 296 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: first quarter has ten carries, eighty six yards and a touchdown. 297 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: Not a bad way to kick things off. Lamar Jackson 298 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: also had a big run on that opening drive and 299 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: then Henry finishes this game twenty seven carries, one hundred 300 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: and forty seven yards and that touchdown. Again, you mentioned 301 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: Lauria four for eighty seven. It was the ground game. 302 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: The Ravens had two hundred and fifty yards on the 303 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: ground in this win, and on a day where they dominated. 304 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 2: When you have the defense play as well as they 305 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: did and the ground games work on, you don't need 306 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: to put it in the air, and they just leaned 307 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: on the success of what they were getting done of 308 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 2: how they were getting done on the ground. 309 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a formula that can win a lot 310 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: of games, including in the playoffs. You have your defense 311 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: playing this well, you control the line of scrimmage, you 312 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: run the ball as effectively as the Ravens did, you're 313 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: gonna be really tough to beat in the playoffs. And 314 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, that's just what we've seen Derrick Henry do 315 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: all season long, is he adds a different element to 316 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: this offense that it didn't have last year. 317 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: And that was a great offense. 318 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: Last year obviously, but it's that much better with Derrick Henry. 319 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: He's a game changer, and we're seeing the Ravens now 320 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: and back to back weeks really lean on him in 321 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: this ground game to just kind of set the tone 322 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: and pave the way. And then you have the big playoffense. 323 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: You have this quick strike, big play offense. You know, 324 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: Lamar buying time, buys time, buying time, buys time, finds 325 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews for a short pass that goes for sixty 326 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: seven yards. You know, I mean the touchdown that he 327 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: threw to Isaiah Likely was absolutely preposterous. I mean preposterous. 328 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: That's that's a top ten or probably of Lamar's career. 329 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: How much time he bought fade away as he's getting 330 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: hit passed to Isaiah Likely. 331 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: I mean, that was a silly touchdown. 332 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: That's the thing that's crazy about this game. So we 333 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: just talk all about all the success of the ground game. 334 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: Lamar only attempts fifteen passes. He's ten to fifteen for 335 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty eight yards and two touchdowns. And 336 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: you see fifteen passing attempts one hundred sixty eight yards 337 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: and you're thinking, okay, fine day, not great, But like 338 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: that's that box score doesn't even begin to tell the 339 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: story of just how impressive some of those throws were. 340 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: That Mark Andrews sixty eight yard play, such a great 341 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: play by Lamar, and then they go into street ball 342 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: mode with him and Mark and he put that ball 343 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: on the money and then Mark took off almost to 344 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: the house. I'm sure he's still kicking hussef out not 345 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: being able to score on that play. He wanted it, 346 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: he wanted it, but he got in later in the game. 347 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: And then and then Isaiah Likely you said it, on 348 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: that play, I don't think there's really anybody like in 349 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: the league that makes that play. His ability to buy 350 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: time and to look around, to keep his eyes downfield, 351 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: to maneuver and then deliver a precision pass, he's one 352 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: of one in that and on a it's just remarkable 353 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: to me, on a day where it was the running 354 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: game that got it done, Lamar still found and he 355 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: only in the only attempts to fifteen passes, Lamar. 356 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: Still found pulled by in the early fourth quarter. 357 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: And yeah, he barely even played the fourth quarter, barely 358 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: plays the fourth quarter. Run run, run, run, run, breaks 359 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: fixed record. Even with a dominant defense, even with all 360 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: of that, still finds a way to make these highlight 361 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 2: reel plays that if you're putting together the career highlights 362 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: of Lamar Jackson, that Isaiah Likely play and that Mark 363 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: Andrews player on there, they're on there. 364 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 3: And the run and thetation I'm just talking. 365 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: About for the passing game. Of course that is definitely 366 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: on there, but from a passing game, like you have 367 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: all this other stuff working and then you still find 368 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 2: a way to come up with these magical plays in 369 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: the passing game and speaks to that just speaks to 370 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: the special player that he is. And John Harbor even 371 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: said it after the game, like it's a certain points 372 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to come up with words for it. 373 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 2: You can say every different game every week, but that 374 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 2: was magical. That was preposterous. That was insane. That was crazy, 375 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 2: Like we're running out of adjectives here to describe the 376 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 2: way Lamar Jackson's playing this year. 377 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I was really glad that he beat 378 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: Vick's record by one yard. Right, So, by the way 379 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: the stats, he's got six rushing yards, Michael Vick has 380 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: six nine. 381 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: You can do that really with the one yard mind 382 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: substracted that. 383 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: Well, we didn't say how ny yards Lamar's run for 384 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: I know, but I was glad that he topped it 385 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: because it gave us, It gave us a narrative, like 386 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: a new you know, it gave us some news to 387 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: talk about the next chapter of the Lamar greatness is like, oh, 388 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: all right, cool, he brought an all time record. 389 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 3: That's cool. 390 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: It was also nice that he was pulled in the 391 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 2: fourth quarter because I was like, are we gonna get 392 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 2: the kneel down and you have the record, then you 393 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 2: lose the records, like dot don't have the kneel down? 394 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 2: Do We got to delete the post, delete the graphic, 395 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: got the kneel down. 396 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: Ball with his name already written on it, puncture the 397 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: football on that didn't set it? Sorry, yeah, that would 398 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: have been terrible. Well, I mean you talk about, you know, 399 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: the run game and all that stuff. He also accounted 400 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: for three touchdowns, you know what I mean, Like, guy 401 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: scored three touchdowns and he posted nearly a perfect quarterback rating. 402 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 2: Yeah one point nine. 403 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: Yeah crazy, And so uh yeah, just another another chapter 404 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: of Lamar's greatness. And and look, we're not saying we're 405 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: not blind to the fact that this the whole conversation 406 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: coming out of this game is about MVP and who's 407 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: gonna win it, and and Dana Rolobski tweeting, you. 408 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: Know, oh he thought it was over. It was over. 409 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: It was never over, Dan, it was never over. And 410 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: you know whatever Lamar doesn't care. Of course, he's not 411 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: going to turn down an MVP award. Lamar doesn't carey 412 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: cares about winning games. I'm sure that's what he much 413 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: preferred in this game, was routing the Texans and getting 414 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: that win, going back to Baltimore with the Ravens controlling 415 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: their own destiny. But like, let's also not pretend here 416 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: that you know it's a runaway by any stretch of 417 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 1: the imagination. 418 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, totally. And RG three made that point multiple times. 419 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: He made it before the game and after the game 420 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: on the Netflix post game coverage. So a couple other 421 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: notes that I want to hit related to this game. 422 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 2: One minor thing that gets clossed over when you win 423 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: the way that the Ravens won. But I'm continue to 424 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 2: be encouraged by what I'm seeing from Justin Tucker drills 425 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: a fifty two yard field goal, and that was an 426 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: important field goal in this game. Early was not a 427 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: blowout at that point of the game, and drills that 428 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 2: field goal right down the pipe, straight kick. We talked 429 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: about that on the podcast last week. It seems like 430 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: he's really eliminated that fade that that hooked the left 431 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: that we saw earlier in the season. Again, right down 432 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: the middle, end over end, great kick for him. So 433 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: he's been perfect coming out of the by on extra 434 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: points and the field goals and a fifty two yard 435 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: or in that situation is no gaming. So I'm encouraged 436 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: by that. 437 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, I thought that was a very good sign. 438 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: And then I thought, keithon Mitchell. You know, Keith Mitchell 439 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: getting some real action with Justice Hills sideline by the 440 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: concussion and he had a catch for twenty eight yards 441 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: earlier in this game. Before it was just kind of 442 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: coming into mop up duty. Then ends up getting eleven 443 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: carries for twenty yards, and so I thought it was 444 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: good to see Keaton. I mean, gosh, when he got 445 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: loose on that screen pass to him, I thought he 446 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: might take that to the house. I sew it was 447 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: like goo keating like I wanted that one for him, 448 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: and you just saw you saw him turn on the Jets, 449 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: so that I thought that was a good thing to see. 450 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you totally. Justice Hill did not play 451 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 2: in this game. He was out because of the concussion 452 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 2: that he had last game. So we'll see if he's 453 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: able to get back get back on the field. Rashean 454 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 2: Ali also he played in this game. He was looked 455 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 2: like the first running back, the second running back in 456 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 2: the rotation after Dereck Henry, but he actually left the 457 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: game with a hip injury. So the Ravens are a 458 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 2: little bit short handed at running back right now. But 459 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: hopefully Justice is able to get back on the field 460 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: next game against the Browns. And and I'm with you, 461 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 2: it was it was good to see Kate and Mitchell 462 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: get rolling a little bit. 463 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Lamar's chain that Eric Tacosta was wearing, that 464 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: was pretty great. 465 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, gotta gotta chain. 466 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: A big chain from somebody in the in the crowd, 467 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: a Ravens fan in the crowd, and then I guess 468 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: he just needed somebody to. 469 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: Hold it, so eedc the chain on the sideline. 470 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: That was fantastic. Beyonce, obviously that show was sick. That 471 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: was that was that, That was. 472 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 3: That was poppin'. I mean, I'm just saying she performed 473 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 3: in their last Super Bowl. 474 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: You know, maybe Beyonce's good luck. Just saying that maybe 475 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: should have her for halftime shows and more games at 476 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: MPT Bank Stadium. 477 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: Sure, sure, I'm sure fans would like that. I mean 478 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 2: that was. That was a great halftime show. And here's 479 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: an email that we got to the lounge at ravensot 480 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: NFL dot Net from Kai Dangner who says, first of all, 481 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 2: the three game podcast bump for our Darius Washington is impressive, 482 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 2: so appreciate call out on that, Kay, But he says, secondly, 483 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: the light state on through the third quarter of that 484 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 2: super Bowl worthy halftime performance by Beyonce, and it was 485 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: a super Bowl worthy halftime show. I mean that was 486 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 2: it felt like I was watching the Super Bowl. I 487 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 2: think that proves Ray Lewis's conspiracy theory is actually true, 488 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 2: that the NFL raglar electricity to keep that king close. Wow, 489 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: because I know some people you beat the Beyonce concert 490 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: in that Super Bowl back in super Bowl forty seven 491 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: was so electric that you know, the power couldn't keep 492 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 2: up and that's what that's what shut off the electricity. 493 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: Ray Lewis has other stories, so you know he has 494 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 2: another perspective there. But Kay looks like he's agreeing with 495 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: with ray Lewis on that. So either way, the light 496 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: sate on his game and that was an awesome halftime show. 497 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: So again, just just to recap looking forward, here quickly 498 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 2: is the Ravens. It's pretty clear cut now, and the 499 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: Ravens beat the Browns next week, they win the AFC 500 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: North or. 501 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 3: Or if the Steelers lose to the Bengals, yes. 502 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 2: Either of those, If either of those things happen, then 503 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: the Ravens will be AFC North champs. And then the 504 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: other part of it, too, is just from a seeding standpoint, 505 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: you're probably you're looking at the three seed. The Texans 506 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: are have already clinched their playoff spot. They're going to 507 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 2: the playoffs, but they're going to be the four seed 508 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 2: as the AFC South champs. The Ravens aren't gonna be 509 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 2: able to catch the Bills for that second seed, So 510 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 2: the Ravens are looking at the three seed there likely, 511 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 2: you know, it depends how things shake out here, but 512 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: you probably as it stands right now, to beat the 513 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 2: Chargers be another hardball ball matchup in Baltimore if it 514 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 2: plays out this way, but Bulls see the only way. 515 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: The Ravens could they could catch the Bills. There are 516 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: two losses behind them. The Bills have three losses. If 517 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: both teams finished with the same record at twelve and five, 518 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens would have a head to head tiebreaker over 519 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: the Bills. But just to clear that up, but the 520 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: Bills face the Jets and. 521 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: Patriots in the next two weeks. Now. 522 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: They almost lost to the Patriots this past week, So 523 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: never say never, but unlikely. 524 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess I should say it's unlikely. I was. 525 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: I was. 526 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 2: I'm not expecting the Bills to lose both to close 527 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: out the season. 528 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 3: The Jets and Pots me either, Yeah, but I'm just 529 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: it's possible. It's not. 530 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's possible that we could get and so and 531 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: then in terms of who they play. Obviously depends how 532 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: the other teams finish things out, but you could be 533 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 2: looking at a hard Ball Bowl, it could be looking 534 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: at the Broncos in a matchup there. So we'll see 535 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 2: how this thing goes over the course of the next 536 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 2: week with games this weekend and then of course next weekend. 537 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 2: But the Ravens, they go into this stretch coming out 538 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 2: of the buy three games in eleven days. That was 539 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 2: something that we talked about all throughout when the schedule 540 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 2: came out and the season. How tough of a stretch 541 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 2: this was. The Ravens play are played their best football. 542 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: I think overall over the course of those three games. 543 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: So it's an incredibly tough stretch, and the Ravens somehow 544 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 2: are getting better during that stretch. I think that bodes 545 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: well for where this team is headed. 546 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I really like what I see. 547 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: It's a size them up Wednesday, size them up Christmas. 548 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 2: Size them up Christmas. 549 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 3: Go for Sulet's go one. 550 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Thank you so much for listening, and we 551 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: will be back with you later this week.
