Jon Jones transforms Ravens’ defense ahead of Steelers showdown
The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for a key AFC North matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. Their defence, now strengthened by mid-season arrival Jon Jones, has shown marked improvement in recent weeks. Jones joined the team after a trade with the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a conditional draft pick.
Jones signed a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Titans in March 2025, securing $7.9 million in guarantees. The Ravens later acquired him mid-season for a conditional fifth-round pick, which could become a fourth-round selection based on performance.
Jones’ arrival has bolstered a defence that had previously shown vulnerabilities. His presence has coincided with improved statistics and a more aggressive unit. The upcoming clash with the Steelers will test whether this trend continues in a high-stakes divisional game.
