For today’s episode of Ravens ReCAP, we discuss the news of the NFL including recent signings and COVID-19. Afterwards we reminisce about some classic player divisional matchups and project the matchups of the future in the division.
The Ravens stunned the NFL with a totally dominate game against the hot Chargers team that elevated them to the first seed in the AFC after 6 weeks. We break down how the defense created their best performance to date and how the offense found its running mojo again.
After the second heartbreaking loss to the Titans at home in 2020, we discuss how the Ravens can try and bounce back with a short week. The Ravens had a 2 possession lead at one point and there are some positives to take from the game but this was a big blow to the team and the fanbase.
Ryan Mink from the Ravens joins us to discuss the role players we are keeping an eye on this offseason who have a chance to make their breakout. While it is easy to get excited about the new shiny rookies, there are many young players on this team we once had similar hopes for that can still rise to the promise they showed in college.
The Ravens were able to sweep the Bengals on Thursday Night to increase their lead in the AFC North. The win did come at a cost, with Mark Andrews suffering a serious injury that puts the rest of his season in jeopardy.
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
Happy Purple Friday! Last season, the Ravens were swept by divisional rival Cincinnati. This week, Peter looks back at five times in franchise history where the Ravens were able to successfully avenge a divisional season sweep.
