The Baltimore Ravens are benign after their 23-17 defeat to the New England Patriots on Sunday night and stick to the last playoff spot in the AFC – and neither is happy.
“We’re out of tickets,” Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said. “No one likes to lose … especially when we have a lot of talent in our team. We just have to re-group.”
Ravens (-3–3) They have lost more games than all the matches last season, when they went 1-2-2 and topped the AFC. Baltimore is three games behind the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers (9-0) and is ranked No. 7 and final playoff spot in the AFC.
On a rainy night at Gillette Stadium, the Ravens scored their lowest points since Jacques took charge of the opening quarterback. They set an NFL record by scoring 20 or more points in 31 straight games.
The loss was reported by Jackson on the “Rich Eisenhower” show last week after Defenders called for Ravens plays.
Asked if the Patriots defenders were telegraphing Baltimore plays, Jackson said, “No, no, we were doing a great job. Coach. [offensive coordinator Greg Roman] He was dialing. We have to finish the drives from now on. “
Injuries are starting to mount for Baltimore. Ronnie Stanley, the tight end, Nick Boyle, who suffered an ankle injury two weeks after facing the All-Pro left-hander, was ruled out with a knee injury at the end of the field on Sunday.
“Those people are huge,” Jackson said. “They’re great players for us. We need them. They’re starters for a reason. We don’t like to see any of us go down.”
By the end of the game, the Ravens were without four starts on defense due to injuries: defensive end Calais Campbell (calf), nose-length lengthener Brandon Williams (ankle), cornback Jimmy Smith (ankle) and inside linebacker LJ Fort (this).
Baltimore’s next two games are against Tennessee (6-3) and unbeaten against Pittsburgh.
“We’re just going to live together. We’re going to build,” Jackson said. “It’s a team, a goal. We’re good.”
