Thursday Night Football: Baltimore Ravens vs. Miami Dolphins by the numbers

Published Nov. 11, 2021 10:28 a.m. ET

If there is one thing the Baltimore Ravens are familiar with this NFL season, it's drama.

In five of their eight games, the outcome has been decided by a touchdown or less. And when they've played in primetime this season, two of those three contests were settled in overtime.

Lamar Jackson & Co. are back under the lights on Thursday, kicking off Week 10 with a clash against the Miami Dolphins at 8:20 p.m. ET, live on FOX.

Will another nail-biter be in store? Tune in to find out!
