OTL: A Perfect Sunday in the AFC North!
photo: X/@RavensBaltimore, this wasn’t a Sunday. This was therapy. The Ravens are still locked and shackled in the doldrums of their 1-5 start in many ways, yet their victory over the Chicago Bears served as proof of life. This is proof of concept, life support for the high hopes of this beleaguered season. Pairing with this delicious taste of life was the Cincinnati Bengals crumbling a huge lead to the winless New York Jets, the Cleveland Browns continuing on their miserable track, and the Pittsburgh Steelers surrendering a 16-7 lead to lose to 35-25 to the Green Bay Packers. The Steelers are suddenly 4-3 and coming back down to the murky waters of the AFC North competition. Lamar Jackson very well could be back Thursday against the Miami Dolphins, along with the idea that this season still means something. Dare I say things are looking up?
