Steelers week Oct 03, 2019

Show notes

Time to reset - the Ravens are coming off of a demoralizing loss at home to Cleveland in week 4, and now face a critical matchup with the Steelers at Heinz Field in which big time divisional stakes are on the line. Pittsburgh just notched a huge home victory on Sunday Night Football over the Bengals to get themselves into the win column and looked pretty good in the process. As a result, many Ravens fans are probably wondering just how they should feel about this game. Not to worry! Jake and Spencer are here to give you the preview you need to gauge your thoughts on this one and more. Before they get into that, they open the weekly mailbag and answer your guys' questions as is tradition. We really hope you guys enjoy this one and hope you'll again tune in on Monday after the game. If you like what you hear, leave us a five star review and subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts. Happy hunting!

They dive into what went wrong, what (if at all) went well today, and what the coaching staff and players can do to get things straightened out moving forward.
