Happy Thanksgiving!

America’s Thanksgiving holiday, born in the 1500s, and observed even during the bleakest hours of the Civil War, now stands as one of the nation’s most anticipated and beloved days — celebrated each year on the fourth Thursday in November.

Perhaps no other nonsectarian holiday has more tradition. Family, friends, food, and football have come to symbolize Thanksgiving — a rare celebratory holiday without an established gift-giving component. Instead, the day urges all of us to be grateful for things we have and the loved ones in our life.

Baltimore Ravens vs. LA Chargers Sunday @ 8:20pm

Ravens Prepare to Overcome Loss of Tight End Mark Andrews

The Baltimore Ravens head into their week 12 game against the Los Angeles Chargers as the top team in the AFC. With an 8-3 record, they aim to maintain their slim half-game lead in the conference.

The Ravens have had an extensive travel schedule this season, accumulating the sixth most miles in the NFL. Despite winning their previous game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the loss of tight end Mark Andrews to injury has left a void in the team. However, the Ravens believe they have the offensive depth to compensate for his absence. Quarterback Lamar Jackson's ability to stay healthy, along with the return of key players from injury, will be crucial for the team's success in the remaining games.

The Ravens have control over their destiny as they face tough opponents in the race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
