From Jonas Shaffer and @giana-jade.bsky.social -- the Ravens and NFL have mostly been quiet since The Banner's investigation into Justin Tucker, now with 16 therapists who accuse him of inappropriate behavior.

What’s next for Justin Tucker? Ravens, NFL remain silent as more accusers come forward.

Adley Rutschman spent the offseason stewing on disappointment. It has lit a fire in him.

“I didn’t have to look very hard to find motivation this offseason,” he said. “You’re just pissed off for months. You’re like, ‘OK, let’s lock it in. Let’s go.’”

The NFL coaching hierarchy might well be this right now:

1) Andy Reid
2) John Harbaugh

Obviously so much is riding on the Ravens winning in Buffalo this weekend. But an extension for Harbaugh past 2025 should already be decided. He has shown his value: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/raven...
Kyle Goon: Super Bowl or not, John Harbaugh has earned an extension with the Ravens
Though the Ravens have their sights set on a Super Bowl, it’s clear that their long-tenured coach has done enough to earn job security through the Lamar Jackson era.

I always learn a ton from reading Jonas' film/play breakdowns. This question has been itching my brain for the last few days: How different will the matchup between the Ravens' run game and the Bills' defense be from Week 4?

Jonas has some key insights 📊: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/raven...
Can the Bills stop the Ravens' rushing attack in the playoffs? Good luck.
The Ravens' rushing attack finished the season as the NFL’s most efficient, according to FTN, but the Bills' run defense was No. 8.
