What did Pardon My Take say about the Ravens blowing a 13-0 halftime lead to the Bengals?

Pardon My Take noted that all three Baltimore losses have come after leading at halftime, and the 35-13 loss to Cincinnati was the first time since 1950 a team lost by 20 after a 13-point halftime lead. Joe Burrow was 6 of 12 for 43 yards in the first half, then went 16 of 18 for 249 yards and four touchdowns. The hosts pointed to backup Tyler Huntley running out of answers without an injured Lamar Jackson.

• Tee Higgins had no first-half catches, then six for 148 yards and a touchdown after the break.
• Ja'Marr Chase reportedly lit into teammates at halftime.
• Ryan Paganetti's research for the show found teams cover 54% of the time the week after a coach says it starts with me.
