Baltimore Ravens Summary

The Baltimore Ravens are facing challenges as they head into a crucial stretch of the season. Following a disappointing home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which ended in a 27-22 defeat, the Ravens find themselves in a precarious position with their playoff hopes diminishing.

Coach Mike Tomlin noted that while the Steelers' defense struggled against the Ravens' ground game, they managed to hold on for the win, contributing to the Ravens' current struggles after two consecutive defeats.

In roster news, the Ravens signed veteran offensive guard Laken Tomlinson to their practice squad, adding depth to their offensive line as they navigate injuries and suspensions affecting key players. Additionally, the Ravens have released a former Auburn standout after just one appearance on the practice squad, a move that signifies a shift in their roster strategy.

Looking ahead, the Ravens are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 15 matchup, opening as 2.5-point favorites despite their recent losses. This game will be crucial for both teams as they vie for playoff positioning in the competitive AFC North.

Analysts express concern over the Ravens' recent performance, suggesting that their playoff chances may be slipping as they continue to struggle in the final weeks of the regular season.
