The Ravens and Chiefs kick off the NFL season in Arrowhead. A different venue but many of the same characters that starred in the AFC Championship game last year. We discuss what we’re looking for from the Ravens in their first real game against one of the best opponents the league can offer.
This week we start off the show discussing Mike Macdonald’s return to Baltimore as the new Defensive Coordinator and go over our 2021 Lists. Next week we’ll discuss this week’s pressers and how the Ravens offense might evolve in 2022.
The Ravens repeat as AFC North Champions by defeating the Browns 35-10 at M&T Bank Stadium. Unfortunately, they lost Pro Bowler Zay Flowers to injury, who will not be available in the wildcard matchup against the Steelers. We discuss this 3rd matchup and how the Ravens can advance in the do or die playoffs.
After that we discuss the 3rd and 4th round compensatory picks the Ravens received in this year’s draft by going down memory lane of all the Ravens comp picks over time. We couldn’t find this list anywhere so we made it ourselves! A Ravens ReCAP exclusive!

This was one of my favorite Marshal Yanda plays. Turned a possible third-and-1 from the 36 into a first down to set up Justin Tucker's game-winning field goal moments later in the "Mile High Miracle" game. #Ravenspic.twitter.com/r9fj2FQZsd
The Ravens defeated the Steelers in a confident and convincing fashion, hopefully starting a new era of these rivalry matchups. We discuss the big win that puts the Ravens in position to win the AFC North and the Texans, their next opponent on Christmas Day.
