In this week’s episode of the UKRavens Podcast, Shane, Ian, Ashley and James unpack a tense and chaotic AFC North battle as the Baltimore Ravens scraped past the Cleveland Browns 23–16. It was a win on paper, but one that left fans riding an emotional rollercoaster.
The team break down a performance defined more by survival than dominance. Facing a Browns side struggling at home, the Ravens still found ways to make life difficult for themselves with unforced errors, miscommunications and head-scratching turnovers. The display wasn’t pretty, and the mistakes came dangerously close to handing the game away.
Looking ahead, the group explore what this rocky performance means for the Ravens as they prepare for tougher opponents.The narrow victory may go in the win column, but it serves as a reminder of the fine margins in the AFC North and the work still needed to keep the Ravens’ season on track.

In this week’s episode, Ian, James, Gordon and Ben relive a primetime palate-cleanser in South Florida as the Ravens thumped the Dolphins 28–6 on Thursday Night Football. Fresh off a hamstring layoff, Lamar Jackson put on a clinic with four touchdown passes and a 143.2 passer rating, while the offense mixed timely shots with controlled tempo to keep Miami on ice.
From there, the lads dig into the offensive line and run-game picture. Progress in Miami, but still a season-long story of lurches and growing pains after so much turnover up front. They talk pressure rates, continuity, and how Derrick Henry’s usage is evolving as the blocking gels, with context from preseason unit grades and midseason analysis.
On defense, it was a “bend-don’t-break” masterclass: Baltimore conceded yards but slammed doors in the red zone, stacked takeaways, and looked notably faster with multiple rookies flashing. The crew highlight those rookie contributions and celebrate the chess-piece value of Kyle Hamilton, whose all-over-the-field role lets Zach Orr keep disguises on every down.
Trade talk heats up too. The team react to Baltimore acquiring Dre’Mont Jones to juice the pass rush. A low-cost flyer with upside, and what it signals about the front office’s belief in this defense over the next two months. They also unpack the headline-grabbing Jaire Alexander deal sending the former Pro Bowler to Philadelphia, why it happened, and what it means for the Ravens’ corner rotation and cap flexibility.
Finally, it’s a Week 10 preview at Minnesota: U.S. Bank Stadium noise, a rejuvenated Vikings team, early odds that make Baltimore road favourites, and the key matchups they think will travel . From protection rules versus simulated pressures to Lamar’s perimeter options against a young secondary.
In this week’s episode, Gaz, Ian, Ashley and James dive into a refreshing turnaround as the Baltimore Ravens snapped a four-game skid with a dominant 30-16 win over the Chicago Bears. With Lamar Jackson sidelined due to a hamstring injury, backup Tyler Huntley stepped up in a big way—completing 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown, adding 53 rushing yards, and guiding Baltimore to its most colourful offensive output since Week 3. Meanwhile, running back Derrick Henry powered the ground game, rumbling for two touchdowns and vaulting into 5th place on the NFL’s all-time rushing touchdowns list.
Gaz also checks in with Ben over in Baltimore, getting the inside look at the UKRavens trip experience and the city’s vibe post-game. From the stadium energy to the road-trip stories. Looking ahead, the crew turn their attention to Week 9’s Thursday Night Football clash at the Miami Dolphins. They preview the showdown, analyse the matchups, discuss how the Ravens can build on this momentum, and ask: can they prove they’re back on track on their primetime stage?
