Lamar Jackson should not step foot on the field unless his leg is 100 percent, especially in playoffs. You don't get rewarded in contract for playing through pain and god forbid you don't play like yourself, they will use that shit against you so quick

A late-game sequence that proved pivotal: Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins picked up a first down and was tackled with 1:08 left on the clock. Rather than using 1 of its 2 remaining timeouts, Baltimore huddled and did not snap the ball until :33 remained. Not nearly enough urgency.

How close was Tyler Huntley to crossing the plane with the football? According to the chip in the football, the closest the ball got to the end zone was 0.6 yards from the goal line. #BALvsCIN | #RavensFlock | #RuleTheJungle

It's still crazy that Baltimore Ravens OC Greg Roman did not just run the ball at the goal line with either JK Dobbins or Gus Edwards.

Sam Hubbard reached a top speed of 17.43 mph, the 3rd-fastest speed by a defensive lineman as a ball-carrier this season. Mark Andrews reached the fastest speed of his career chasing down Hubbard — 20.72 mph — but could not make the tackle in pursuit. #BALvsCIN | #RuleTheJungle

Can't wait to tell my grandchildren about the 2nd and 10 Justice Hill draw down 7 points in the red zone of a playoff game after not using a timeout to stop 30 seconds from melting off the clock.

Wow, did not expect to see that. On third-and-1, Ravens take a shot and Andrews out-duels Bates for a 25-yard catch. Morgan Moses, however, is down on the play.

Ravens scratch Kolar after he had good game against Bengals last week. But with Andrews coming back and Isaiah Likely established as second pass-catching TE, it was always going to be tough to get Kolar involved as well. twitter.com/jeffzrebiec/st…

And there's another mistake for Ravens. They forced a three-and-out and Geno Stone gets flagged for a personal foul for roughing the kicker penalty.

Practice squad elevations reset in playoffs and there's no limit to how many time a guy can be elevated during postseason. So why elevate WR Binjimen Victor and not activate him? Essentially gives Victor a bigger game check, a perk for a guy who has been on team's PS for 2 years

Ravens CB Marcus Peters is active after missing past three games with a calf injury. Peters has the most interceptions (32) of any active player since 2015. But he had a career-low one pick this past season.

Greg Roman's swan song comes with a most unique exclamation point. Pretty amazing Ravens finally get Dobbins involved in RedZone early in this one, he scores a rare RZ TD and then take the ball back out of his hands once again in the second half. Own worst enemy

The Baltimore Ravens are facing the Cincinnati Bengals in back-to-back weeks. Baltimore lost 27-16 in Week 18 to Cincinnati, but this there is much more at stake, as the playoffs have arrived and the two teams will face off on Wild Card Weekend.

Shortly before kickoff, the Ravens announced their inactive players for this Wild Card matchup. Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who hasn’t practiced in over a month, is on the list, as well as running back Kenyan Drake,  defensive back Brandon Stephens, cornerback Pepe Williams, wide receiver Binjimen Victor, center Tryston Colon, and tight end Charlie Kolar.  Stephens is still dealing with an illness that kept him from Week 18

The Ravens do get off the field this time with Tyus Bowser and Oweh sacking Burrow.

Huntley just had a ball snapped over his head, ran back, recovered it and managed to complete a 19-yard pass to Josh Oliver.

It is my understanding per source that Tyler ‘Snoop' Huntley will start tonight for the #RavensFlock. He made good progress this week working through the right shoulder injury. It is a "possibility" the Ravens could use both QBs, in Snoop & rookie Anthony Brown. #BALvsCIN

And Kevin Zeitler with a massive holding penalty against his original team. Now 22 seconds and Ravens at the 27.

The Baltimore Ravens have earned their place in the AFC playoffs with their 10-7 regular season record and will face the Cincinnati Bengals in the Wild Card round this weekend. Everything the team accomplished in 2022 was in spite of some adversity from injuries that they had faced since Week 1, especially pertaining to absences from star players such as quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Nonetheless, Baltimore has managed to bring the NFL’s longest streak of multi-sack games into the first round of the playoffs, and hopes are high that their fierce pass rush can help mitigate the threat posed by the Bengals’ prolific offense. The Ravens have seen contributions from outside linebackers Justin Houston, Tyus Bowser, David Ojabo and more, but have seen their sack production fall off ever since the bye week

Reader, Bell, Hubbard and Mike Thomas are the game day captains. Ravens win and defer. #Bengals get the ball first.
