| 0:00.0 | Coming up today on PFT Live, our change is coming for the Pittsburgh defense. Will an off-field |
| 0:05.1 | move by Lamar Jackson be the key for a Ravens turnaround and which guys could be the missing |
| 0:09.6 | piece as the trade deadline looms? All that plus week nine power rankings as PFT Live starts now. |
| 0:19.0 | You see a lack of fight when you watch to take? No, I don't necessarily say a lack of fight when you want to take? |
| 0:22.0 | No, I don't necessarily say a lack of fight in terms of effort. |
| 0:26.2 | I'm talking about fight in terms of playmaking. |
| 0:29.1 | You don't get credit for trying hard. |
