If you think the Baltimore native five-star recruit is the only thing to be excited about, think again.

It’s rotten that one of the most beloved Ravens ever is struggling so much. But he can’t keep costing the team games in a tight playoff pack.

As Calvert Hall’s season winds to a close against Loyola Blakefield on Thanksgiving, it will end a season that Ravens assistant head coach Hewitt and running backs coach Taggart have enjoyed watching their sons as teammates.

We’re used to seeing Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry take the Ravens on their back. But the 30-23 win over the Chargers featured multiple stars in their roles, the kind of diverse play-making Baltimore needs to get another championship.

While Jim Harbaugh isn't replicating what his brother John has done in Baltimore, the personnel and player overlap between the Chargers and the Ravens is unmistakable, and a key part of L.A.'s 7-3 start.

The Ravens have the talent to be a championship-level team, but whatever credibility they build is undercut by ugly, self-sabotaging performances.

Baltimore-born hoop stars are building buzz, especially locally with the Washington Wizards and the Terps.

Justin Tucker hasn’t been great lately. But he believes the kicker he has been, setting the NFL’s standard for excellence, is still within him.

The Ravens gave up a season-high 428 yards to Joe Burrow and struggled to cover Ja’Marr Chase. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey said Baltimore’s victories are getting harder to enjoy.

Jackson is 6-1 against Burrow, throwing as many touchdowns, fewer interceptions and running for more yards in their head-to-head meetings.

After leading the NFL in sacks last season, Baltimore is in the bottom half of the league this year. Failing to upgrade the pass rush was a mistake.

With a preseason No. 18 ranking, the Terps are expecting to be deeper and have more size to improve on last year’s 19-14 record. But with 10 newcomers, the blend will take time to smooth out.

Baltimore’s historic offense is steamrolling teams, but it can’t crack the first hour of some of the most prominent sports talk shows on TV.

Trenton Simpson and Tavius Robinson were two of the second-year Ravens who made a big impact on an improved performance from Baltimore’s beleaguered defense.

Special teams are usually one of Baltimore's quiet strengths. This season, they’ve drawn attention for all the wrong reasons.

Orioles fans hope that Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman and Anthony Santander can be in Baltimore for life, but we live with the worry that big-market, big-money teams like the Dodgers will eventually sweep up the talent the Orioles have painstakingly cultivated.

Gay scored 17,642 points in 1,120 games in a career with the Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz.

There’s no fear factor to this defense — a problem that is rooted in a pass rush that can’t get home.

When the Browns traded for Deshaun Watson then signed him to a $220 million deal, enough was known about his sexual assault allegations to make the move contemptible. Now that Watson has failed so disastrously, it's impossible to feel sorry for Cleveland.

The Midshipmen are 6-0 with a Heisman candidate while running a retro offense and without any NIL money. What makes them successful? A stiff grounding in tradition.
