The Orioles land a late-inning arm. They have an agreement on a two-year deal with an opt out after the first for Ryan Helsley, source confirms, as Jeff Passan reported. Pending physical

The Ravens offense stinks with some of the most talented players in the world. Everyone is tired of it.
Change something. Do something.
The stagnant approach just is not working anymore, and maybe somebody needs to lose their job to jolt the urgency: www.thebanner.com/sports/raven...

Zay Flowers laid out the best block I've ever seen him make on that Mitchell TD.

Not that I think the Ravens are playing like a team that will win tonight ... but if somehow they do, it's all thanks to this defense holding the Bengals out of the end zone on four red zone possessions in this first half. Insane execution tonight.

What more can you say about Kyle Hamilton? Rushes Burrow on the blitz -- on the replay, you can see him running in front of the camera toward the pocket -- yet manages to backtrack and tackle Perine short of the first down marker and force a FG. Doing it on an apparently bum ankle.

What a bailout by the Ravens defense. Kyle Hamilton, who was limited by injury at practice during this short week, made the 4th down breakup. This group officially has all of its swag back after that possession.

That 28-yard burst for a touchdown is an emphatic way for Derrick Henry to pass Cleveland legend Jim Brown for No. 11 on the all-time rushing yards list.

Joe Flacco has become something better than ‘elite’
Flacco is 40 now, near the end (presumably) of a tortuous career that has somehow led to him being one of our most liked athletes.

Dylan Cease sets the market early, as Jon Heyman reports it’s a 7-year, $210-million deal. It’ll be a pricey class of starting pitchers and the latter half of the contracts may not age well. But that’s the going rate

The cost and duration of the Francis Scott Key Bridge rebuild significantly increased due to a larger span and extra pier protection.

There’s no doubt that the Ravens have taken care of business in their 5-game winning streak to get back atop the AFC North. But they just don’t *look* like a contender.
With the Bengals and Steelers coming up, the Ravens still have to raise their level: www.thebanner.com/sports/raven...

Breece Hall was really exposing the Ravens' unseemly open field tackling. But a huge strip by Marlon Humphrey in his first game back saves that possession from really making this game a mess down the stretch.

It is not easy to win five straight games in the NFL ... but the opposing offenses that the Ravens have played these past five games have really, really helped them do it. Absurdly so.
