The Ravens will wear their Purple Rising alternate helmets, which debuted in 2024, to pair with their all-purple "Color Rush" uniforms. Fans are encouraged to wear purple to Thursday's primetime AFC North showdown. The first 30,000 fans in attendance will receive a ceramic Purple Rising gravy boat to help commemorate the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Bengals need Pittsburgh to lose three of their final four games. The Steelers play the Dolphins, Lions, Browns and Ravens over the last month of the regular season. Cincinnati also needs to win out and they need the Ravens to lose one of their other three games to the Patriots, Packers and Steelers.

The Ravens’ Thanksgiving night game against the Cincinnati Bengals brings an unusual rhythm to the week for players, coaches and fans.

The Ravens were on the cusp of taking a 14-6 lead in the second quarter when tight end Isaiah Likely sprinted toward the end zone and hurdled a defender. However, he didn't secure the ball, and it was punched out by Bengals safety Jordan Battle just short of the goal line.

A healthy Burrow, that collection of weapons and an improving offensive line makes the Bengals the division's most dangerous team.

Lamar Jackson was back at Ravens practice. He was also a limited participant and on the team’s injury report again.

ESPN's Mike Tannenbaum on the Bengals: "They could lose one more game, go 4-1 over the last five games and win the division at 8-9."

After leading the NFL in rushing in 2023 and 2024, the Ravens hope a more consistent running attack down the stretch will help them capture a third straight division title.
