Baltimore Ravens win and they are in: Ebony Bird Podcast

Welcome to the 19th episode of Ebony Bird, a Baltimore Ravens podcast brought to you by Ebony Bird and FanSided.

On this episode, site expert Joe Schiller joins contributor Jake McDonnell for a half-hour of football talk.

Topics covered:

The Ravens’ 23-16 win over the Colts: Was the way this game turned out shocking to us?

Jake and Joe talk about how the game went down. The Ravens were heavily favored in the game but only ended up winning by a narrow margin.

The injuries to wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (knee) and cornerback Jaylen Hill (ACL & MCL)

The guys break down the injuries and whether or not fans should be concerned. This is another loss for the secondary that already lost Jimmy Smith for the rest of the season.

Previewing the Bengals game: Kind of a playoff game, revenge-seeking division rival, playing hard for Marvin

This is a game where the results matter in a big way. The Ravens need to win this game to clinch a playoff berth. The Bengals have nothing to play for other than pride. How will the Bengals come at this game? How will the Ravens enter the contest? Jake and Joe discuss this.

Which team would the guys rather face in the Wild Card game, Jaguars or Chiefs? Why?

This is a very interesting conversation. There are some really good points for the Ravens Flock to take note of.
