Birds go bust: Ravens an equal-opportunity heartbreaker

The Ravens have been a difficult team to figure out this season, and they’ve been even more of a mystery since losing QB starter Lamar Jackson to a strained ankle three weeks ago. Siding with them has been especially hazardous lately, as both Bros have discovered in back-to-back weeks.

Glenn lost with the birds in Week 6 when their offense flew away after establishing a 10-0 halftime lead on the Browns, only to fumble their way to a 13-10 defeat. In Week 7 it was Sean’s turn. The Junior Bro backed Baltimore at home as they faced division rival Cincinnati, and it turned into the week’s only split as Glenn — still smarting from last week’s letdown — made a late decision to flip to the Bengals. For the first half, that idea appeared to be a bust. The Ravens racked up a 13-0 lead at halftime, leading the Senior Bro to wonder if lightning might strike twice. Unfortunately for Baltimore, it did.

As one sports highlight reel proclaimed, the Bengals “went nuclear” in the second half, scoring on five consecutive touchdown drives to turn what had looked like a staggering defeat into a 35-13 victory for the Senior Bro and shaving a game off his deficit in the Surfy standings. It might have been two games had he been brave enough to take the Dolphins in their first win of the season at the Jets — a game he proclaimed with certainty that Miami would win, yet refused to gamble on because… well, it’s what you are sure of that often hurts you on game day. 

The result came amid several surprising finishes that included the first defeats for previously unbeaten San Francisco and Kansas City, and Tampa Bay’s demolition of Carolina. Bye weeks can produce such anomalies, and that is a large reason why finishing above .500 is often the bigger victory. Ben managed to win the week with his 9-5 record, tightening up the overall standings, while Glenn’s 8-6 mark was good enough for second place and Sean went 7-7 in third.
