The Ravens played their worst game of the year on Thanksgiving night hosting the Bengals. While the September disaster against Houston was uglier and never even in doubt, that one was doomed from the start given Baltimore’s injury issues. This time, the team was healthy, had all the motivation, was facing a division rival missing two of their most impactful players…and they laid an egg.
Luckily the Steelers lost and the Ravens remained atop the AFC North, with a game against those same Steelers coming up this week. They now have another issue on their hands with Cincinnati suddenly feeling new life but at least they control their own destiny.
