Jason, any question for you about which jersey you are going to wear this morning? No, I decided it probably after the second quarter of the Ravens Lions game. I said that was my favorite game of the weekend, the one I was most looking forward to, and boy, did Lamar Jackson deliver. There were some unexpected outcomes over the weekend. Impressive win. That is the assignment right now, Peter. where do you go? I'm going to go there with the Ravens.

I don't have to go on a long soliloquy or monologue on it. I think it's pretty obvious. We've been talking about it all morning. This was a Lions team that was the hottest team in football, had just been destroying teammates, winning by teams, winning by 14 points or more in their last three, winning on the road, doing everything you could want from the Lions.

And we had started getting that hype machine going to the point where they were number one in power rankings. ESPN, Stephen A. Smith said they were the best team in football. And that's when

you start get crowned in October. And then here come the Ravens. And they put on the biggest blowout

of any team we've seen this season. Maybe since Denver

lost to Miami and they give up 70 points. This was the most lopsided game of the season for Baltimore,

obviously, but maybe in the top three of all year for any team, the Lions came into this thing

with a top five defense, number one rated rush defense in the league, and they give up 500 yards. And I said it earlier in the show, the Ravens took their foot off the pedal. Like, they could have done more. They could have scored more, and they could have had more yards. This was the most impressive win. It was a statement. It all came together for Baltimore. They're coming back from the London trip, obviously. And it was like, all right, let's show you what we could do again now on this thing at home. And the stadium, as much as there were Lions fans, like the stadium was rocking. You had, you know, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, down, down, throughout the game, because that's what the Ravens were always rocking there. And it felt like This is a Raven statement game to the rest of the league. You could have your Lions party, and you could do it elsewhere.

It's not in our building, not today, not this week. I was really happy for Baltimore because this is a lot of weeks of figuring it out and it all came together at the right time. And now Lamar is firmly in that MVP conversation. And the Ravens might be the best team in football after that win.

Well, to that point, I agree with you.

I think it's the number is 544.
