A new biography on Tom Brady introduces a raw side of the former QB's leadership style, one that, even as his fame rose, fell back on personability and an innate hunger for success. The latter acted as a hindrance as much as a motivator.
My thoughts:

Whoever said Trey Hendrickson wasn’t doing anything on Sunday, watch this.
(Shoutout @TheoAshNFL great breakdown)

Ravens 6th in yards per play, despite Tyler Huntley taking 50.1% of the snaps this season.
Zay Flowers leads NFL in yards per route run, despite 64% of his targets coming from Huntley.
Very, very excited to see how hard Declan Doyle will cook with a healthy Lamar Jackson.

Matt LaFleur was asked before the season about what he learned working with rookie kickers Anders Carlson and Brayden Narveson.
His answer: patience.
That patience is being tested with Trey Smack. For now, they’re sticking with him.

An all-too familiar mystery in Baltimore: The confusion around Lamar Jackson’s health.
The Ravens are optimistic that star QB returns Sunday in Buffalo and they badly need him. nytimes.com/athletic/7728142…

Even by Ravens’ standards — this is a team that has lost 18 games since 2018 in which they held double-digit leads — Sunday was a debacle.
Lamar Jackson should return soon, but there's so much else to fix.
"We're just too much (in our) heads."

"It was like quicksand"
Calais Campbell was talking about the Bengals' 35 unanswered pts in the 2nd half. But his comments could easily apply to what's happening to the Ravens season.
Lamar Jackson is close to a return, but how many flaws can he mask?

Derrick Henry said the Ravens all need to look in the mirror and called his own performance "terrible."
Ronnie Stanley acknowledged that the Ravens lose focus when things are going bad.
"We're too caught up in what is happening in the game."

Ravens trail 35-13 after leading 13-0 at the half. The last team to lose by 20+ after leading by 13+ at half:
Colts vs Giants 11/19/1950 (led 20-7 at half and lost 55-20)

Def came as a shock to the Ravens that Lamar couldn’t go, but Minter told me while he took majority of reps in practice, they went back and looked he was limited in what he could do. Lamar said if he can’t run, plant or have burst then it’s selfish to be out there. I was told he’s confident he will be back next week vs Bills #RavensFlock

Via the @TheAthleticNFL playoff simulator...
If the Rams win these next 4 games (@ Raiders, vs. Chargers, @ Commanders, @ Cardinals), they'll have a 66% chance of making the playoffs.
Go 3-1 and those drop to below 46%.
Go 2-2 and they are below 25%.

Per the board in the Ravens' media room, both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley will be speaking to reporters after practice today. Head coach Jesse Minter will be, as well.

• The latest on Love, Watson, Golden injuries
• Is this the week for Kevin Zeitler?
• Can Love exploit league’s worst pass defense?

I mean, just an all-time TV segment. Making Chuck do Who He Play For multiple times in a row with the same players is a brilliant idea and I was legit crying laughing by the end, my god.
