The New York Jets (2-8) are flying into M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday, November 23, 2025, with little momentum but everything to prove. Their opponent? The Baltimore Ravens (5-5), riding a four-game winning streak and led by the electric Lamar Jackson, who’s playing like he’s got something to prove himself. The game kicks off at 1 PM ET, broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ — the only official platforms for this matchup, despite the noise from unofficial streams and promotional links.
When the Jets Hit a Wall
It’s been a brutal season for New York. After a promising preseason, the Jets’ offense collapsed. Justin Fields, the 25-year-old former Chicago Bear, started the year as the presumed savior. But after three straight poor performances — including a 27-14 loss to New England on November 13 — head coach Aaron Glenn made the move: bench Fields. Enter Tyrod Taylor, 35, the veteran who’s seen it all. He’s not flashy. He’s not going to throw for 400 yards. But he’s steady. He makes smart decisions. He doesn’t turn the ball over. And right now, that’s all the Jets need.Glenn, hired just this season, is under pressure. The Jets haven’t won a game since Week 5. Their defense, once a strength, has cracked under the weight of injuries and inconsistent play. Fans in Florham Park are asking: Is this a rebuild? Or just a bad year? The answer might come in Baltimore.
The Ravens’ Quiet Dominance
Meanwhile, in Baltimore, John Harbaugh — now in his 18th season as head coach — is quietly building something special. The Ravens aren’t just winning; they’re controlling games. Their offense, anchored by Jackson, has become a lethal mix of speed, power, and precision. Jackson, 28, has thrown for 18 touchdowns and rushed for another 7 this season. He’s not just the MVP candidate — he’s the reason Baltimore’s been able to beat teams like Cincinnati, Tennessee, and Pittsburgh in a row.Defensively, the Ravens have tightened up. They’ve held their last four opponents to an average of 16.5 points. That’s not by accident. Defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald has turned this unit into a machine. And now they’re facing a Jets offense that’s ranked 31st in the league in yards per game.
How to Watch — And What Not to Watch
If you want to see this game, stick with CBS or Paramount+. That’s it. No need to hunt down “NFL Streameast” or YouTube streams with sketchy ads. Those aren’t just unreliable — they’re illegal. CBS Sports, headquartered at 51 West 52nd Street, New York, has the rights. And Paramount+, owned by Paramount Global, offers the only legal, ad-free, high-definition stream.And yes, you heard right: if your local CBS station carries the game, you can stream it on Paramount+ — no extra fee. Just sign in with your cable provider. The NFL’s broadcast rules are messy, but this one’s simple: if it’s on CBS, it’s on Paramount+.
As for the PrizePicks promo code ‘CLNS’? It’s a sales pitch. $50 in lineups for a $5 bet? Sounds great — until you realize most people lose. Sports betting isn’t a strategy. It’s a gamble. And the Jets are a 14-point underdog for a reason.
Why This Game Matters
For the Ravens, this is about momentum. They’re right on the edge of the AFC playoff picture. A win here pushes them to 6-5. They’d be tied for second in the AFC North. A loss? They’re back to fighting for a wild card spot with five teams jostling for two spots.For the Jets? This is a chance to stop the bleeding. They’re 2-8. Their season is effectively over. But football isn’t just about wins. It’s about identity. Can Glenn build something here? Can Taylor show he’s still got something left? Can a team with no stars find a way to compete? That’s what this game is really about.
What’s Next?
After Baltimore, the Jets’ schedule doesn’t get easier. They face the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 14, the New Orleans Saints on December 21, then the Patriots on December 28 — all on the road. Their final game is against the Buffalo Bills on January 3 or 4, 2026. That’s a long way from playoff contention. But maybe, just maybe, they can finish with a win. That’s all they’re playing for now.The Ravens, meanwhile, have a bye in Week 13. Then they face the Browns, Steelers, and Bengals — three division rivals. They’re not just trying to make the playoffs. They’re trying to win their division. And that’s a different kind of pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch Jets vs. Ravens for free?
Yes — if you have access to a local CBS affiliate. The game is broadcast on CBS, which is available over-the-air with an antenna in most markets. No subscription is needed. Streaming on Paramount+ requires a paid account, but if your local CBS station is airing the game, you can stream it for free on Paramount+ by signing in with your TV provider credentials.
Why did Aaron Glenn bench Justin Fields?
Fields struggled with turnovers and inconsistent decision-making, especially in losses to the Bills, Bengals, and Patriots. He threw 6 interceptions in his last three starts and averaged just 5.1 yards per attempt. Glenn opted for Tyrod Taylor’s experience and ball security, even if it means sacrificing big-play potential. The move was about preserving the season, not just winning one game.
Is Lamar Jackson healthy?
Yes. Jackson missed one game in Week 9 due to a minor ankle tweak, but he’s been full-go since Week 10. He’s played every snap over the last four games, and his mobility and arm strength are at peak levels. The Ravens’ offensive line has also improved, giving him more time to operate — a key reason for their recent success.
What’s the historical edge between the Jets and Ravens?
The Ravens lead the all-time series 18-10, including a 24-17 win last season in New York. Baltimore has won five of the last six meetings. The Jets’ last victory came in 2020 — a 27-24 overtime win at MetLife Stadium. Since the Ravens’ 1996 founding, they’ve consistently outplayed New York, especially when Jackson is under center.
What’s the weather forecast for M&T Bank Stadium on game day?
Expect temperatures around 42°F (6°C) with a 30% chance of light rain and winds gusting up to 18 mph. It’ll be cold, damp, and windy — perfect for Baltimore’s run-heavy offense and a defense that thrives in adverse conditions. The Jets’ passing game will struggle. Taylor’s short, quick throws may be the only way to move the ball.
Are the Jets still in playoff contention?
Technically, yes — but mathematically, it’s nearly impossible. Even if the Jets win their final six games, they’d need multiple teams ahead of them to collapse. The AFC East is dominated by Buffalo and Miami, and the AFC North has Baltimore and Cincinnati. The Jets’ remaining schedule has no easy wins. This game is about pride, not playoffs.
