The fact that Washington got rid of Kingsbury even before a top job offer - or even an interview request - arrived was a damning indictment of the fractured relationships behind the scenes. Some experts wondered whether this would hurt his chances of generating interest elsewhere, but that notion soon flipped. According to Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network, the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans have formally requested to speak with Kingsbury about their respective head-coaching vacancies.

Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver has been requested to interview for the Ravens' head coaching vacancy created by firing Harbaugh Tuesday night, according to an NFL Network report Wednesday. Weaver has significant ties to the Ravens. He was drafted by them out of Notre Dame in 2002, playing his first four seasons with the franchise. He returned to coach in Baltimore as an assistant from 2021 through 2023.

For it to end like that sucks, and I want to do better. Unfortunately, the nature of the job is you have makes, and those are awesome, and unfortunately, you have misses, and for that to happen tonight sucks.

PITTSBURGH -- The Baltimore Ravens ruled out starting wide receiver Rashod Bateman for Sunday night's AFC North title game against at the Steelers. Bateman had been listed as questionable after missing every practice with an illness. But Baltimore downgraded Bateman, the team's fifth-leading receiver, on Saturday after he did not make the trip to Pittsburgh. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Bateman was dealing with a "pretty serious" bout with the flu, but he had thought Bateman would be cleared by game day.

Week 17 is absolutely begging us to overreact to it. The Steelers have already blown it! Derrick Henry is going to play five more seasons and break every record! The Texans' defense is going to be unbeatable in the playoffs! Tyler Shough is a franchise QB! The Commanders need to fire everybody! A lot happened before Sunday in Week 17. There was a lot resolved, too, and a spicy Week 18 is set up with two division titles and two 1-seeds on the line.

Six Baltimore Ravens players have been selected for this season's Pro Bowl Games despite the team almost certainly missing the playoffs. The Ravens lead the league in Pro Bowl nods, alongside the Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. Baltimore's Pro Bowlers are fullback Patrick Ricard, wide receiver Zay Flowers, center Tyler Linderbaum, linebacker Roquan Smith, safety Kyle Hamilton and punter Jordan Stout.

"It's always great to hear from a Ravens legend," cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. "Maybe we need a Raven to come back every week if we're going to practice like that and play like that."

In the days leading up to the game, Burrow said that if he wants to keep playing, he wants to have fun doing it. That sparked considerable speculation about his status with the Bengals, the team that drafted him first overall in 2020. Burrow firmly squashed that notion. "My comments had nothing to do with Cincinnati," Burrow said after the game. "My comments had everything to do with me and my mindset and football."

"You've heard about him?"

The Ravens signed Alexander to a one-year, $4 million contract on June 18 in a move that reunited him with his former Louisville teammate Lamar Jackson and added a fifth former first-round pick to the Baltimore secondary. But Alexander missed a chunk of training camp with a knee injury and then struggled in the Ravens' fourth-quarter collapse of season-opening 41-40 loss in Buffalo.
