Two weeks to prepare and that’s what we got? John Harbaugh had been unbeaten after the bye week, not anymore.
The Good
Marlon Brown had an excellent game with 2 td catches and a 2 point conversion.
Torrey had 5 catches for 78 yards including a 46 yard underthrown bomb from Joe

Tandon Doss’ 2 big punt returns

and the most concerting issue of all from baltimoreravens.com
A concerning trend has emerged for the Ravens over the last three weeks. The defense has failed to get opponents off the field late in games to give Joe Flacco
and the offense opportunities to mount fourth-quarter comebacks. The issue showed up again Sunday, as the Browns ate up 6 minutes, 30 seconds at the end of fourth quarter to seal the Ravens’ fate in a 24-18 loss at Cleveland Browns Stadium. “You’ve got to get off the field,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said. “We’ve played good defense the whole game for the most part – we had some mistakes and some errors – but we’re good enough to get that stop there, and we have to get that stop. And we haven’t done it for two or three games in a row.” Sunday’s loss was the third in a row for the Ravens, and in each game the defense was unable to get late stops to put the ball back in the offense’s hands. The Browns went on a 15-play drive to set up a 22-yard Billy Cundiff field goal that virtually put the game out of reach. At the start of the drive, the Ravens trailed by just three points and the defense wanted to get Flacco another opportunity to at least send the game to overtime. Instead the Browns converted four first downs – once on third down and another time on fourth down – to move the chains and run down the clock.
The Ugly
Simply put–the Run Game–Pathetic
Biggest Question
I was screaming for the Ravens to go for it on 4th and 4 from their own 46 with 6:44 to go in the game. Why? Cause it was Groundhog day.
