GOOD, BAD & UGLY: Ravens Deliver a Turkey on Thanksgiving
Bengals at Ravens Thanksgiving 2025In my Good, Bad & Ugly following the Ravens v. Jets, I labeled the home team “mediocre”. Four days later, I’m not sure that they are as good as mediocre. The Ravens were exposed by a (3-8) team that was on the road during a short week. Thursday games are usually quite a challenge for the visitors, particularly when they:
Give up 32.7 PPG
Rank 32nd in points allowed, yards allowed, passing yards allowed, points per drive and yards per drive
Rank 31st in rush yards allowed
And there’s more sub-mediocre evidence to consider:
The Bengals give up 156 yards rushing per game; the Ravens posted 123.
Cincinnati gives up 416 yards per game overall; the Ravens had 346
