Thursday Night Football features the Baltimore Ravens and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  So today we will do Ravens at Buccaneers trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida.

And GOOD NEWS!  Our phones are back for the first time since Hurricane Ian!

In case you are not fortunate enough to be lucky caller number nine at 239-337-ESPN, then you are in luck!  Play at home and dazzle your family!  Stump your co-workers with useless knowledge!  Amaze your friends with your newfound intelligence!  Below are the actual questions AND ANSWERS heard during Wiki-Pete-ia on our show.

Admittedly, Thursday Night Football, for the most part, has been a dud this year.  And the Ravens at Buccaneers is a peculiar matchup at best.  The Ravens have blown a lot of 4th quarter leads this year.  And Lamar Jackson may be trying too hard to earn a $250,000,000 contract.  On the other side, the Buccaneers are a hot mess.  Their injury list is long and they appear to be inside their own heads.  Plus they are coming off an embarrassing lost to the Carolina Panthers.  Tom Brady can't fix everything.

So let's do Ravens at Buccaneers Trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia!
