1·2 years agoThrough week 12 that statement has been 100% true. However, if any game ends in a tie, then less than half the teams will lose that week.

If Zay Flowers went down and did not score a TD on that play, we would not have had Ravens radio announcer Gerry Sandusky’s call: “The Zay is in the Barn!”.

Plus the soccer penalty kick TD celebration was way better than the tossing the football like a wedding bouquet TD celebration, which Lamar said was “ass” 😎

Jackson had some critiques.
“I told him, ‘That was ass,’” Jackson said with a laugh. “That was the worst touchdown celebration I’ve ever seen.”
Add the Bungles Vontaze Burfict and Adam “Pacman” Jones to this list.
Javorius “Buck” Allen should make the Pro Bowl for life as a representative from the Ravens.
Since the Pro Bowl is now a flag football game and flag football will be in the 2028 Olympics in LA, the Pro Bowl should become an Olympic qualifying game 😎🚩🏈
The 5-6 LA Rams are 4.5 point favorites at home vs, the non-elite injury decimated 7-4 Brownstains in week 13.
If the Brownstains do anything right in week 13, it will be to soften up the Rams who will then have to fly across country for a 1 PM east coast start time in week 14 at the Ravens coming off their bye week.
Hopefully the Ravens players left some friendly welcoming messages for the Brownstains players in SoFi stadium locker room last night.

You just got Clowney’ed!
Let’s Go Ravens!
On the flip side, 6 teams have already matched or exceeded their 2022 loss total entering Sunday of week 12:
Buffalo Bills 13-3 in 2022, 6-5 in 2023,
Cincinnati Bengals 12-4 in 2022, 5-5 in 2023
Kansas City Chiefs 14-3 in 2022, 7-3 in 2023
Minnesota Vikings 13-4 in 2022, 6-5 in 2023
New York Giants 9-7-1 in 2022, 3-8 in 2023
Washington Commanders 8-8-1 in 2022 4-8 in 2023
4 of these teams finished in first place in their division last season and only Kansas City is still currently in first place in their division this season.

The Ravens are currently 8-3 (0.727), as they don’t have their bye until week 13.
KC is currently 7-2 (.778) and coming off their bye in week 10. If KC loses to Philadelphia tomorrow on MNF, then they will be 7-3 (.700). The Ravens will then have the best winning percentage in the AFC and will technically be in the AFC #1 seed position. This would just be a schedule quirk as the Ravens will have played 1 more game than KC.
However, if both teams are 9-3 after week 13, then KC will be in the AFC #1 seed position due to having a better record in the AFC as they will only have 1 loss in AFC games vs. the Ravens having 3 losses in AFC games.
BTW, If the Ravens are tied with KC, Miami and Jacksonville after week 13 at 9-3, then the Ravens would fall to the AFC #4 seed position, as Miami and Jacksonville would only have 2 losses in AFC games.
BTW, I don’t think the Ravens are even close to reaching their peak offensively and that’s even taking all the injuries on offense into account.
The Ravens need to bring in one of the Orioles coaches to teach Lamar how to slide properly.
Al just turned 79 on Sunday.
Can we exhale now?

The title of this post is a bit misleading, as the 10 teams that are more than 1 game over 0.500 are all at least 3 games over 0.500.
Here is another way to look at it:: 10 teams are at least 3 games over 0.500, 12 teams are within 2 games of 0.500 and 10 teams are at least 3 games under 0.500.
From an overall league perspective that seems very balanced. When you look at each conference things are a slightly different, but still fairly balanced:
In the AFC:: 6 teams are at least 3 games over 0.500, 6 teams are within 2 games of 0.500 and 4 teams are at least 3 games under 0.500.
In the NFC:: 4 teams are at least 3 games over 0.500, 6 teams are within 2 games of 0.500 and 6 teams are at least 3 games under 0.500.
This difference may be due to the AFC teams having a home game this season for the non-conference “17th game” added to the regular season schedule in 2021. Overall the AFC leads the NFC 36-25 in non-conference games and AFC teams have hosted 13 more of the non-conference games than the NFC teams (including the Atlanta Falcons-Jacksonville Jaguars game in London where Jacksonville was the home team).
