Did you ever imagine the Ravens could turn a 10‑0 halftime edge into a defeat? They fell from 4‑1 to 4‑3 after surrendering that lead to Cleveland and later watching a 13‑0 advantage evaporate against Cincinnati.
Those two losses left the team 0‑2 in the AFC North – a rarity not seen since 2007 – and sparked an odd statistical pattern for Baltimore.
NBC Sports data shows a +65 first‑half scoring margin, the league’s best, yet a –63 second‑half differential, the worst. In my view, this collapse reveals a glaring halftime‑adjustment problem.
The 35‑13 final score against Cincinnati made the Ravens the first team in 76 years to be winning by 13 or more at halftime and to lose by 20 or more.
Heading to Buffalo next, the Ravens face extra pressure after a Week 1 2025 showdown where a 15‑point lead with 11:49 left turned into a 41‑40 loss. Can they finally hold onto a halftime advantage?
