 When I gave my score prediction for this game, I thought it was going to be 28-26 and Ravens were going to win, but I just thought it was going to be a stressful game. I thought it was going to be a close game. I thought it was going to be one of them Baltimore Ravens heart attacks games that we are all so used to. But the Ravens, once again, they prove that we do not care about what your record is for better or for worse. And the reason I say for better for worse, because if it's for better, the Ravens don't care if you are a hot team, if you're one of the top teams in the league. Like again, we saw against the Detroit Lions a couple of weeks ago. Detroit Lions were coming in hot. Ravens, they blew them out the water. But then we saw against the Cardinals, they were coming in not. And they were not a good team, bad record. And Ravens, they struggled with them. They only beat them by seven. But then today against the Seattle Seahawks, they blew them out like crazy. And I just was not expecting that, but was not complaining over it one bit and we all loved it. And I'm here to share my post game thoughts on that game that we all watched. A lot of us together in the live stream yesterday, so shout out to y'all. Whether Baltimore Ravens won 37 to three. And real quick, before we get into this, if you want your own varsity jacket like this or a gray and black one or a different color one, you can go to standwithusclothing.com and use code engraving for 10% off the link to all of that is right down below in the description. It'll take you right there. So, get into this game. Lamar Jackson, when you look at his numbers, his numbers, they were not sexy. They were not eye popping. I mean, he went 21 for 26 on 187 yards, every 7.2 yards per throw. No touchdowns, but no picks. Okay, so I'll take it. But again, they got the win. And Lamar Jackson, he did apologize to fantasy people. He said my fault, John, is Instagram story last night. But we ain't worried about no fantasy points. I know our show ain't worried about no fantasy. I don't even play fantasy. I ain't played fantasy in like five, six years. But they got the win. They got the dub. And Lamar Jackson, the few throws that he missed, I know early on that he was trying to get rich our baby on a deep ball. You just thought and then rich off. They were trying to get the deep ball, but they just, they couldn't make it happen. So they'll get it eventually. And then there was another throw where, oh, it was a pretty pass and it was to Justice Hill. And initially, while I remember watching it live, like, oh man, this is gonna be nice. But I thought Justice Hill dropped it. But the defender, when they showed the replay, the defender got his hand in there like the last second. Oh, okay, that was a great play by the defender. But Lamar Jackson, he was pretty sharp in this game. Minus the very beginning of it, but he was pretty sharp. Again, when you throw 26 passes and you only miss five, yeah, that's pretty sharp. And he now leads the NFL in completion percentage. So look at that. Lamar Jackson just continuing to do things that he just continuing to show his growth, man. And I appreciate that this offense is allowing him to grow. They allowing him to take that next step as a quarterback because that's something that we knew he could do. We knew he was capable of for years, but I just felt like the previous offense is not that they were bad, but they just, there was no growth. That they had reached their level of growth and they were capped. So I feel like it had been time to move on years ago, but hey, it's better late than ever, right? So now they're here. So Lamar Jackson in this game on the ground too. Now on the ground, like I've been telling y'all, I feel like Lamar Jackson has been holding back a bit. He's been a little reserved. Now in this game, he started to get a little more loose. We got to see some real Lamar Jackson speed on some of them runs. So shout out to Lamar. Now, oh, and then shout out to Tyler Huntley too. Cause for Lamar, it was 33, Tyler Huntley came in there and the Ravens, they really, really, really, really, I mean, they've been really wanting to get OBJ touchdown for forever. It's crazy that the first time we get to see OBJ dance, it comes in what, week nine. So nine weeks through the season, I thought we would have been seeing him. Then we didn't see him do dance all year long, but now we finally got to see it. So that was a good thing. So shout out to Tyler Huntley. Shout out to the offense for just making a show like, hey, O'Dell, we got you. We ain't forget about you. So they took care of him yesterday. So that was nice to see him get his first touchdown. And I almost thought that he was out of bounds when he called it, but great though by Tyler Huntley. Great catch by O'Dell Beckham, Jr. And I think it was on Tariq Woolen too. So a good cornerback. So I was like, all right, Raven, look here, I see y'all. Anyway, back to the running game. We saw Lamar Jackson take off. Yesterday we saw Gus Edwards. He, again, Gus doing Gus stuff, man. Five carries for 52 yards and two touchdowns. Five carries for 52, again, Gus Edwards, he just be showing, he like, hey, look, man, I got it, I can do this. Five carries for 52 yards, average 10.4 yards a carry. Like, what is that? But he only got five carries. Justice Hill 13 carries for 40 yards, he averaged 30. I mean, excuse me, 3.1 yards per carry. And Justice Hill, him and Lamar Jackson at the mesh point, just, it's really weird. I don't know what the issue is. I don't know, like the chemistry is off. I don't know who's fault that was yesterday, whether it was Lamar, did Lamar pull it back later? Did Justice grab it too? I don't know what it is with them two. But I do see Justice Hill getting less carries, getting less carries, not only because of that mesh point fumble, but because of Mr. Keaton Mitchell. That boy Keaton Mitchell, man, oh, I was so happy, man. I was so happy, and I know y'all were too, man, just to see Keaton Mitchell out there. Because when we saw him carry the ball a couple weeks ago, he almost had a touchdown on one of those carries. But when he breaks, like he breaks big. And we saw this in the preseason. And I remember people in the preseason, they were like, it's just a preseason. He's going against backups. And I said, well, even though, yeah, he is going against backups, but it got to start somewhere. It got to start somewhere. So let's see what he does with an opportunity, yeah, against better defenses, in real, in starter defenses, but also with a starting offensive line. And Keaton Mitchell was amazing yesterday. Amazing. I was so mad at the broadcast because I was watching the game. Raven's obviously blowing him out. They went to commercial break. So I'm like, all right, we doing the live stream and whatnot. They go to commercial break, come back, and they playing Saints and Bears. I'm like, why would you change that, man? I don't want to watch no Saints, Bears, man. I ain't trying to watch that. So I missed Keaton Mitchell's, his 60-yard run that he got. After all the runs that he broke before, but I missed another big run by Keaton Mitchell. I was so mad, man. Because I'm looking at the live chat in the live stream, and everybody going crazy. Like, whoa, Keaton Mitchell, Keaton Mitchell. I'm like, what's happening? So, but I did see it on Twitter though. But anyway, he was amazing yesterday. And Keaton Mitchell got nine carries. Just nine carries, that's it. For 138 yards, average 15.3 yards per carry and had one touchdown, first touchdown of his career. So that was beautiful. Said his dad couldn't be there yesterday. Who used to play for the Ravens? Who was on the Ravens? 2000 Super Bowl team. But he said, it'll be more games like that so there ain't no big deal. So I said, okay, Keaton Mitchell, I ain't mad at you at all. And the thing with Keaton Mitchell that I really, really loved, that I really, really appreciated is that while he speed back, clearly they say he's the fastest person on the team. But with Keaton Mitchell, so you would think with a speed back, like, okay, if he's breaking these big games, it's just strictly because of his speed. And that's it. No, it wasn't. Now his speed played a big, a huge factor, obviously, but it wasn't the only factor. Keaton Mitchell was also breaking tackles. He was breaking tackles. Had he not broken tackles, then some of them runs, especially that 60 yard run, that wouldn't have, that would not have anything. So the thing with Keaton Mitchell that was even more impressive, that again, this is a speed guy. Speed got super fast, but he's elusive, obviously elusive, but he broke tackles. So guys made contact with him and he got off of them. He removed them from his presence and kept it moving. So that's dangerous. That's very, very dangerous. So shout out to Keaton Mitchell for that. And I mean, we just, we've been looking for the Keaton Mitchell, but today he said, hey, I'm here. And what we talked about in a video this week, we talked about some of the players that should be the happiest after the trade deadline. Gus Edwards was one. Justice Hill was another one, but the one who I felt like should have been the happiest was Keaton Mitchell, because this gave him a huge opportunity because had the Ravens traded, excuse me, had the Ravens traded for Derek Henry, Josh Jacobs, the Sequoian Barclay, any one of those running backs or Javante, whoever, if the Baltimore Ravens had traded for a running back, Keaton Mitchell would be done. He would not get snaps on offense. He wouldn't because the pecking order woulda went, Gus Edwards, then whatever running back that they traded for and Justice Hill, they woulda divvied up the carries like that. Keaton Mitchell wouldn't be getting snaps. He certainly would, not maybe if Justice Hill fumbled or something like that, or something like that, but no, he wouldn't be getting snaps. They wouldn't give the undrafted rookie free agent and running back, no. Oh, a running back that they already got in Gus and a running back that they traded for and gave up draft capital for, like that's already a lot of carries between them two alone. And then you got Justice Hill who's been involved in the passing game a lot. So Keaton Mitchell just, he wouldn't have found his way on the field, on offense in my opinion, had they traded for a running back. So this benefited him a lot. And he was like, you know what Ravens, let me show y'all why y'all made the right decision. But this was really, really nice to see. So I'm just looking forward to it. This was big for him. I saw a lot of Ravens fans saying, all right, well, we're gonna miss you, JK. So, we'll see what happens with that. Now, the Baltimore Ravens, the guy I received was Mark Andrews. He led the way nine catches, 80 yards. Surprise, he didn't get a touchdown in this game, but he was putting in work and he was getting a lot of yak. My favorite play for Mark Andrews, I think it came on a third. And I want to say third and 18, I think. Third and just really long. And Mark Andrews, like, Mark Andrews turned into like a little running back or something, the way that he had that vision, he made a cut and he started, he bounced it to the outside and he was running, going at it. And he ended up making like a third and 18, a fourth and one. Then the Baltimore Ravens, they were gonna go for it. And cause they were like, hey, we ain't just get 17 yards or nothing. They were gonna go for it. And then they got the defense to jump off sides. So the Ravens is just, man, that game was amazing, man. But shout out to him, O'Dell Beckham, Jr. He had five catches for 56 yards. And with Lamar, he had four for 50, I believe. Four catches for 50 yards. Then he got that last catch, the touchdown from Tyler Huntley toward the very end of the game. So shout out to O'Dell Beckham, Jr. finally getting in his own. Isaiah likely, almost thought that he was gonna score on a pass. Well, that's from Lamar from Tyler Huntley. I think it's from Tyler Huntley toward the end of the game. But Isaiah likely was getting, he was more involved in the game than ever. I think this is the most he's ever been involved in the game. I know there was a game a couple of weeks ago where he was lining up. I mean, he was out there from the jump, lining up as a blocker. But this game, he was involved a lot. Shaw Bateman had three catches for 28 yards. So they did get him involved. Two Zay flowers. Quiet game for Zay flowers. I know a lot of people were upset. Like, man, why is Zay flowers ain't getting the ball? Why is Zay flowers ain't getting any touches? Like, look, man, this is a good problem to have, in my opinion, when Zay flowers won't catch for 11 yards. And, oh, he is too shifty, man. It don't make no sense. But Zay flowers won't catch for 11 yards. Ravens won 37 to three. 37 to three. Zay flowers had one catch for 11 yards and Ravens won 37 to three. That's a good problem to have, man. That's a good problem to have. Yeah, we would love to see him involved. We'd love to see a lot more people involved, but they won 37 to three. So, yeah, Ravens were involved with scoring. And that's the biggest involvement that they need to be involved in, in my opinion. So shout out to them. Now, that's the offense. And the thing about the offense, and we're gonna talk about this more later on this week, but that offense that we saw, at least from my opinion, they were not rolling like that. That is not an offense that has peaked. That is not an offense that is just absolutely out there killing it. They still have a lot of work to do, especially in the passing game. They just, it's not all the way there yet, but they still put up 37 points. Still, still put up 37 points. Lamar and them, they put up 30 points. Tyler Hunney came in and put up another seven. So for an offense that's not rolling like that, they not peaked and they put up 37. Talk about that later, baby. Now, Baltimore Ravens defense. Listen to this stat. It says, this came from a Shiel, Shiel Kaleepa. I know I probably messed up his name so my apologies. Oh, Shiel Kapadia. He said, the Seahawks have played 237 games on the Piquero. They have never had fewer first downs in a game than they had today with six. So I didn't realize they only had six first downs. Through 60 minutes, like that's crazy, man. Teams get that like in a half. Through 60 minutes, the Seattle Seahawks had a total of six first downs. Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker, D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Jackson Smith in the jig, but six total first. That doesn't make any kind of sense. That's crazy. And then he also said, no team in the NFL has had fewer than six first downs in a game this season. So the Ravens were, they made some nice history. Geno Smith, his numbers, he's 13 for 28, 157 yards, average 5.6 yards to throw, and he got picked once. And that was by Mr. Geno Stone. He can't go nowhere, straight up. Ravens gotta figure it out. Geno Stone cannot go anywhere. He can't, they cannot let him leave. I know it's tricky. I know it's a crazy situation. I know it's like, ooh, what are we gonna do? Ravens, you gotta figure it out. You gotta figure it out. You cannot let Geno Stone go anywhere. No, he ain't going nowhere. I'm telling you now, right? Geno Stone ain't going nowhere. So let that be known. Anyway, Baltimore Ravens, they sacked Geno Smith four times. Now, I know I did say, I think the Baltimore Ravens got my message a little mixed up. I ain't complaining, but they got my message a little mixed up, cause I said to Davey and Clowney was gonna get two sacks in that game, but Calvin, no, he ended up getting two sacks in the game. I ain't complaining. We're still good, but it's all good. But today, I mean, excuse me, Calvin Noy, and on his sacks, he got back to back sacks. And on his second one, it was a forced fumble. And I think, yeah, that came after Lamar had threw to O'Dell Beckham Jr. Right before halftime, he threw to O'Dell Beckham Jr. And O'Dell Beckham Jr., he fumbled the ball and that was a fumble. I remember we watched that replay like 50 times cause they showed it like 50 times. I'm glad they showed it 50 times cause I appreciated that. Cause I always be wanting to see replays and stuff when it happens and they showed it a lot. And it was a fumble. O'Dell did let the ball go before his knee hit the ground. And the Seahawks, of course, recovered. But then right after that, Calvin Noy, he said, hold up, I ain't trying to let them score. Sacked, Geno Smith then sacked and no, knocked the ball out this on the second sack. So that was a beautiful thing to see. Oh, Matt Abike, that's another one. Matt Abike, his money just keeps increasing cause he got a sack in the game yesterday as well. So I think he got like seven and a half sacks or something like that. So he been going crazy. And then somebody who a lot of Ravens fans have been talking bad about, he showed up again, I doubt fair way. He got himself a sack too. So it's just been a beautiful thing, man. Baltimore Ravens, I think they still lead the league in sacks, they probably should after today, but I don't know, they probably do. But that's been amazing to see, man. They, the way that they can scheme up pressure now, they'd be even nicer if they ain't gotta just scheme up pressure. Sometimes they can send three or four and get there and hey man, maybe sometimes they can do that. But yeah, man, it's been amazing to see it, man. Mike McDonald, we gonna miss you. Unless, now again, there's only one way that I see Mike McDonald staying and we'll see if that happens. But we'll talk about that another time. But it's defense, man. They were amazing. They were amazing. Even after like, well, I really gotta give the defense a huge, huge shout out right before half time, I believe is in the second quarter. Geno Smith completes that 50 yard pass a catch and run to DK Metcalf. Huge play. So for them to stop DK Metcalf on it was huge, but then they held the Seahawks out of the end zone and they held them to three. And that 50 yard play is probably, well, not probably it is. It's the only reason that the Seahawks even got any points. Think about that. That is literally the, cause that's the only points that they scored was a field goal from that. And Ravens have been doing a really good job this season of not giving up those huge plays like that for the most part. I know they gave up some to Zach Moss. I know they gave up a big chunk play to Derek Henry, but they ain't really, oh, and then in that coach game, I think was it Pittman that had a big catch, but they ain't really been giving up them big plays like that. Oh, then the, then the George Pickens. I mean, I saw, I'm remembering the far few though, far few, but Ravens have been doing a pretty good job overall stopping those big plays. So to see them give that up, it was disappointing, but it was nice to see them hold it down. They said, all right, we gave up the 50 yards. Okay, we got this. And they stopped them. But just to think about that, have they not given up that 50 yard bomb? Seahawks get no points in the whole game. The Seattle, again, Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker, DK Metcalfe, Tyler Lockett, again, these are conversations that I remember last year, or maybe the year before last, we were having conversations on if the Ravens could get one of those guys, they could pry one of those guys away from Seattle, especially DK Metcalfe. Tyler Lockett wouldn't have been a bad option either, but I mean, my preference was DK Metcalfe, but anyway, like, so these guys, they not bad receivers at all. They not. I know a lot of Ravens fans wanted them to draft Jackson Smith and the Jig with two. So just to see this Baltimore Ravens defense hold those guys out like they did. It's amazing stuff, man. It really is. This defense is for real, man. It really is. And again, I can't let people discredit the defense. I'm not gonna let you do that. I can't. And yeah, they will have even more tough tests coming up, but they've had a lot of tough tests already. They're gonna get some good teams and they have held it down. They have done their job. They have done their role. Even in the games that they lost against the Colts. They were doing that thing. It was offense, slipped up that game. Now I mean, the defense, they did give some big runs to the outside whether they bounced it to the outside. I think we were missing the doubt fair way that game, but they couldn't hold down the edge for nothing. But overall, this defense, they've been doing that thing, man. And again, they've been missing people here and there. Malin Humphrey missed four games. They were missing a doubt fair way for a couple of games. They are Darius Washington. He been out. They missed Arthur Millet for a little bit. They miss Marcus Williams. He been out for some games and they've just, they've gone through the rotation. David Ajabo, he's been out as well. Tyus Bowser ain't taking a snap yet. Like they've been missing. They still been showing up every single week. Defense is amazing, man. Just like, think about this and we're gonna talk about this later too, but the way that, how amazing this defense is, the offense ain't even catch up yet. They ain't even catch up yet, but they still been doing it, seven and two, seven and two. So that matters, seven and two. So shout out to the Baltimore Ravens, man. They took care of business. They took care of business in a big, big, big way. Huge game coming up against the Cleveland Browns. That's gonna be big. But it's at the Cripp. So that's nice. Then right after that, huge game coming up against 90 Bengals. That's gonna be big. And that's gonna be at the Cripp. So that's gonna be nice. And we're gonna be in a building for that game, for that Bengals game. So that should be a lot of fun. So it's a night game. It should be, I know that energy is going to be insane. It's gonna be crazy, man. So I'm really looking forward to that. But we'll see how it goes, man. We'll see how these Ravens do. We are just loving the fact that they're taking care of their business, man. And what I would love to see from the Ravens, especially as the season winds down. And we ain't at the end of it yet, which is great. But NFL season does go like that. But I want to see Ravens take care of their own. I don't want to be in no position where we got to be scoreboard watching. I mean, we scoreboard watching regardless. But where we got to be was hoping for, all right, well, hopefully this team loses and that team loses, then they do a cartwheel and then this team does a flip and then this team does some insane stuff. Ravens, just take care of your business. Take care of your business so you ain't got to worry about nobody else.
