Ravens Wake-Up Call vs Bengals & the AFC North Showdown Ahead

In this episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down a brutal, mistake-filled loss to the Bengals on Thanksgiving that may end up being a turning point in the Ravens' season. Five turnovers, offensive inconsistency, and missed opportunities told the story — and we aren't sugarcoating any of it. We dive into Lamar Jackson's recent struggles and explain why this doesn't feel like a collapse — but a short slump. I explain why I fully expect Lamar to bounce back and look like himself again, and what signs to watch for to know he's turning the corner. We also dig into the offense as a whole — the identity issues, the lack of commitment to the run game, and why Todd Monken's unit hasn't looked as crisp as it should. Plus, we talk about the rotation at left guard with Emery Jones Jr. and discuss why that still doesn't solve the right side of the offensive line.  Finally, we turn the page to what feels like a season-defining battle in Pittsburgh. Sunday isn't just another game — it's a division swing, a tone-setter, and potentially the moment that decides the AFC North. I give my prediction, explain why I still believe the Ravens win this matchup, and why I'm confident they can still take the division despite the mess we just watched.
