The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich and Josh Tolentino react to Jackson's latest injury blow and break down the Ravens' lackluster 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Later in the show, Matt and Josh run through the Orioles' first moves of the offseason including closer Ryan Helsley picking up his player option, outfielder Rece Hinds re-signing on a one-year deal and Baltimore declining starter Zach Eflin's mutual option.

Another week, another Ravens collapse. This time, it was the Bengals who overcame an early deficit before blowing them out, 35-13, by scoring five unanswered touchdowns in the second half.

The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich and Sam Cohn react to the discouraging defeat and point to multiple position groups on the defensive side of the ball as leading causes. What can the Ravens do to fix their secondary? When will the real Trey Hendrickson stand up?
