Ravens Leaders Call Out Defensive Maturity, Promise No Repeat Offenders After Bills Collapse

Veterans held a players-only dinner after coaches tied playing time to execution.

Overview

  • Baltimore fell 41-40 in Buffalo after giving up a 15-point fourth-quarter lead, with Josh Allen throwing for 397 yards including 251 in the final period.
  • Cornerback Marlon Humphrey said the team is not mature enough and identified the defense as the current problem despite being in calls he described as perfect.
  • John Harbaugh told players the team lacked maturity, and defensive coordinator Zach Orr warned there will be no repeat offenders with snaps linked to doing the job.
  • Orr and players cited execution and fundamentals over scheme, noting poor rush lanes, no takeaways, and a heavy 85-snap workload that wore the unit down.
  • The loss was framed by the Associated Press as part of a multi-year trend of late-game collapses, and the Ravens now pivot to Week 2 preparations against Cleveland.
