In this week’s episode of the UKRavens Podcast, the crew dig into a brutal Thanksgiving night for Baltimore, as the Ravens’ five-game win streak was emphatically snapped by the Bengals in a 32–14 defeat at M&T Bank Stadium. What should’ve been holiday primetime celebration turned into a full-on turnover nightmare, and the lads are here to walk through every grim detail. 

The episode starts with the immediate fallout from a game that never really got going for Baltimore. Cincinnati came in struggling and short-handed defensively, but capitalised on every Ravens mistake, forcing five turnovers and flipping the night in the third quarter. Joe Burrow, back from injury, steadied the Bengals offense, while Baltimore repeatedly handed them short fields and momentum. 

From there, the conversation turns to how the UKRavens community has been reacting, including the ongoing film-session watch-alongs designed to make X’s and O’s more accessible for fans. The crew talk about why these sessions matter, how they’re helping people spot patterns beyond the box score, and why the timing felt especially important after a game this messy. 

On the field, it’s a tough review. Lamar Jackson’s night is analysed in detail after a performance derailed by turnovers, including an interception under heavy pressure and multiple lost fumbles. The Bengals’ aggressive blitz plan and Cover-0 looks consistently disrupted Baltimore’s timing, and the episode breaks down how those pressures snowballed into game-changing errors. 

Despite the obvious frustration, the pod doesn’t linger only on the wreckage. The crew look ahead at what this loss means for Baltimore’s path forward at 6–6, with the AFC North tightening and playoff margins shrinking. The key theme is simple: the Ravens still have enough talent to make noise, but only if the mistakes stop and health stabilises down the stretch.
