Ravens’ ‘Late For Work’ Rundown Highlights Pundit Reaction, Team Narratives
The Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 2 published their “Late For Work” feature, presented by Dunkin’, collecting media reaction and internal updates from the early weeks of the season. The series on the team website runs daily items that range from pundit predictions to front-office perspectives and roster analysis. The feed serves as a central place for narratives about Lamar Jackson and coach Jesse Minter.
Recent entries include an Oct. 2 item previewing pundits’ predictions for the Ravens-Titans game and an Oct. 1 piece in which Pat McAfee said a Lamar Jackson Super Bowl win would change the world’s view of football. The series also carried general manager Eric DeCosta’s assessment of the start of the season on Sept. 30. A Sept. 29 post by Jeff Zrebiec identified an “intriguing” potential trade option at center. Those posts sit alongside frequent game previews and reaction pieces that have populated the feed throughout the season.
