Overview
- Detroit beat Baltimore 38-30 on Monday night, piling up 224 rushing yards as the Ravens went without a sack and Lamar Jackson was sacked seven times.
- Marlon Humphrey offered a blunt assessment — “we’re just not very good” — and said the defense is putting unfair expectations on the offense.
- Despite leading the NFL with 111 points through three games, Baltimore has allowed 96, a franchise high for that span, with poor tackling and limited pressure cited by coaches and players.
- Injuries weakened the front seven, with Nnamdi Madubuike still undergoing evaluation for a neck issue and Kyle Van Noy week to week with a hamstring, and the unit failed to bring down Jared Goff once.
- Reaction was swift, from media criticism and fan frustration with Humphrey’s postgame video to drops in multiple power rankings, as the Ravens prepare on a short week for a road game at Arrowhead.
