After starting 3-0, the Las Vegas Raiders tumble to 3-4 following a 35-21 Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, pushing their playoff hopes toward the bottom of the AFC wild‑card race. The latest standings place them 10th, a game‑and‑a‑half behind the Bengals for the seventh seed and trailing the Patriots and Ravens, who hold the tiebreaker over Vegas. With a must‑win against the New York Jets next week, the Raiders face a de facto mid‑season elimination battle.

AFC Playoff Picture: Ravens fall out of position with second straight loss

The Baltimore Ravens slip to ninth in the AFC after a second straight loss, dropping to the bottom of the AFC North. Cincinnati’s win over Baltimore pushes the Bengals to seventh, while the Patriots sit eighth. Both teams sit at 4‑3 overall, but the Ravens have scored just 23 points in their last two games and need quarterback Lamar Jackson back for Week 8 vs. Buffalo and Week 9 vs. Jacksonville. Meanwhile, the AFC North sees the Browns (5‑2) leading, Steelers (5‑2) second, and Bengals (4‑2) third, leaving the Ravens in last place as the playoff picture reshapes.

Week 7 delivered drama across the NFL, highlighted by the league’s first regular‑season game in France where the Steelers defeated the Saints 16‑10 at Stade de France. Fans slammed the national‑anthem performance and questioned several calls, including a overturned fumble on T.J. Watt. In Nashville, a missed false‑start before Cleveland’s game‑winning field goal sparked Titans fan ire. The Falcons snapped the 49ers’ unbeaten streak, the Bengals rallied from a 13‑0 halftime hole to beat the Ravens 35‑13, and the Vikings moved to 6‑0. Notably, Garrett Wilson shouted at Geno Smith as the Dolphins earned their first win, while J.J. McCarthy guided the Giants to an overtime victory in his debut start.

What Jesse Minter said about truly appalling collapse vs. Bengals that should have Ravens questioning everything

In a stunning 35-13 defeat after leading 13-0, the Baltimore Ravens saw their half‑time advantage evaporate at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 25, 2026. Head coach Jesse Minter, speaking to Jamison Henley, blamed the “momentum‑losing” plays and a lack of consistency, saying the team must become more "even‑keeled" instead of riding waves of momentum. He emphasized that this collapse forces the Ravens to decide what type of team they want to be, with quarterback Lamar Jackson’s return still uncertain for the Nov. 1 matchup against Buffalo.

Demand Grows For Tony Romo’s CBS Return As J.J. Watt Disappoints During Bengals-Ravens Broadcast

Fans are clamoring for Tony Romo’s return to CBS after J.J. Watt’s mixed performance on the Bengals‑Ravens game broadcast. Watt, who replaced Romo three years ago, faced backlash for his commentary on a low‑block call involving Bengals’ Boye Mafe and Derrick Henry, with viewers accusing him of sounding like Romo and being overly loud. While some praised his defensive insight—highlighting Tee Higgins’s 148‑yard, one‑touchdown second half—others labeled his analysis as “boring” and “childlike.” The debate resurfaces as CBS re‑affirms Watt’s multiyear deal, prompting a fresh look at whether the former defensive star can match Romo’s pre‑snap acumen.

Ravens discussion: instant reactions to 2nd-half collapse vs. Bengals

The Ravens squandered a 13‑0 halftime lead to lose 35‑13 to the Bengals, dropping to 4‑3 on the season. Tyler Huntley sparked the first half, but Baltimore’s defense collapsed, allowing four straight Bengals touchdowns—including a Ja'Marr Chase score—while the offense managed only two first downs after the break. Critics on Baltimore Beatdown blame defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, injuries to key linemen like Vega Ioane, and the unit’s inability to tackle and rush the passer. With Lamar Jackson still out, the Ravens face a daunting stretch against division leaders in the next 11 days.

Ravens’ latest blown double-digit lead is most spectacular collapse yet

The Baltimore Ravens suffer their second straight loss, collapsing from a 13‑0 halftime lead to a 35‑13 defeat at home against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
