Saturday afternoon up, Saturday evening down in the ratings
Saturday night’s playoff game was compelling, but a matchup of Baltimore and Nashville simply won’t generate the same eyeballs as an L.A. team versus America’s Team. Via Austin Karp of Sports Business Daily, the average audience for Titans-Ravens on Saturday night dropped by nearly four million viewers in comparison to last year’s Saturday night divisional-round [more]
Playoff exit takes nothing away from Lamar Jackson’s special season
In this age of hot takery and random gasbaggery, it’s no surprise that some are using Baltimore’s loss to the Titans as a vehicle for knocking quarterback Lamar Jackson. But regardless of what the Ravens did (didn’t do) in the postseason, nothing diminishes his spectacular regular season. The hottest of the gasbaggish asshat takes goes [more]

Spots 1-28 now set for 2020 NFL Draft
Yesterday was a crushing loss for the Texans, but at least they can comfort themselves with their future, and how they can use the 26th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft to make a good team better. Oh wait, they already traded that one to the Dolphins. Sorry guys, that was probably too soon. With [more]
Marshal Yanda accuses Jeffery Simmons of spitting in his face
Ravens right guard Marshal Yanda has thought about retirement in the past, but didn’t want to answer any questions about his 2020 plans after Saturday night’s loss to the Titans.

The combination of the Titans being such big underdogs, and winning so easily, made Saturday night’s victory in Baltimore a rare achievement in NFL history. The Titans were 10-point underdogs and won 28-12. To win by 16 as a 10-point underdog is so rare that it was only the third time an underdog that big [more]
Marlon Humphrey believes Ravens identity is playoff chokers
The Ravens were heavy favorites at home on Saturday night, but Derrick Henry and the Titans steamrolled them for a 28-12 win that leaves the NFL’s top regular season time out of the running for a Super Bowl.

Derrick Henry: Stats are good, win is better
Titans running back Derrick Henry is breaking records while helping the team keep its season alive.

He’s also run for more yards [more]
Ravens’ loss dusts off Week 17 rest-or-rust debate
The question of whether a team with nothing for which to play should play to win in Week 17 has received another data point for when it inevitably arises again. The Ravens, who secured the No. 1 seed with a Week 16 win over the Browns, rested key starters for the regular-season finale. As a [more]
John Harbaugh: Titans beat us in the trenches
The Ravens set the record for the most rushing yards in NFL history this regular season, but in their playoff loss, the Titans ran them over.

Lamar Jackson: We just beat ourselves
Lamar Jackson will win the MVP award. He won’t win the Lombardi Trophy. No quarterback has won the MVP award and the Super Bowl in the same season since Kurt Warner in 1999. Jackson’s performance Saturday, and the resulting upset loss by the Ravens, doesn’t diminish anything the quarterback did during the regular season. He [more]
