00:00I love talking NFL and I love it even more talking the NFL radio on the early line on
00:03the sports grid network with my good buddy, Joe Ranieri. You can never get enough here. And also
00:08we do have a Thursday night football game, which we're going to break down once again today and
00:11tomorrow. Why? Cause there's a lot of moving parts in this game and a lot of intrigue around
00:15the Baltimore Ravens. Joe, I remember talking to you weeks ago when Lamar Jackson went down
00:19and on that very show where it says like, you know what? Lamar's probably about multiple weeks.
00:23We pointed to that bi-week and coming out of the bi where Lamar Jackson was supposed to start
00:27against the Chicago bears. He didn't now case in point though. He still won that for, excuse me,
00:32the Ravens still won that football game without Lamar Jackson. That was the spot where most people
00:36were taking a look at a team total live during the season and say, you know what? If things go right,
00:41that schedule turns out and they get healthy. The Ravens probably are still number one, the best
00:45team in that division and should be able to make a run to the playoffs. If things go well and they
00:49don't stay injured, well, they picked up a victory against the Chicago bears now favored by over a
00:54touchdown on the road against the Miami Dolphins. Talk to me about the prospects of the Baltimore
00:59Ravens resurrecting their season with a legitimate chance now to actually make the playoffs despite
01:04a one and five start. Yeah. Well, listen, I mean, they, uh, nobody else in that division has wanted
01:11to make a run, right. Or make it impossible for them to weather that storm, but that's kind of what
01:17they've done. I mean, that was a huge loss by Pittsburgh on Monday night there against, uh,
01:23uh, against green Bay. I mean, if they would have won that one, been three games up through eight
01:29weeks, Donnie, we're having a different conversation right now, but we didn't Cincinnati's going nowhere
01:33fast. So are the Browns, which means listen, the market knows it too. That's why they're minus money
01:39to win the division because Pittsburgh can't get out of its own way. And it's schedule, uh, also has
01:46two games coming up against the Ravens. I think they did a good job of weathering the storm. And I
01:52think from this point forward with the experience and the talent they have and the coaching, they
01:57understand, listen, that's, we can't, this is it. The playoffs are starting for us here in week eight.
02:03They did great last week against Chicago without Lamar. They're going to kick it up a notch here.
02:08Now that Lamar is back in.
