Ravens beat Titans 24-18 despite Lamar Jackson’s ankle injury. Henry scores against his old team

In a disappointing 24-18 road loss to the Baltimore Ravens on October 4 at M&T Bank Stadium, the Tennessee Titans fell short due to defensive and offensive struggles. The Ravens dominated the first half, leading 24-7, as quarterback Lamar Jackson contributed significantly with 222 passing yards and two touchdowns. Titans quarterback Cam Ward threw a reckless interception on the game's second offensive play that set up the first Ravens touchdown.

Rookie receiver Carnell Tate had a strong game with nine catches for 145 yards, but a fumble by him before halftime cost the Titans 10 points. Quarterback Lamar Jackson's ankle injury forced him to sit out the second half, leaving the Titans to defend a significant deficit. The Titans' offensive line showed some promise with a good push, with Atonio Mafi stepping in to replace injured guards.

However, the defense failed to perform well in the early parts of the game, allowing the Ravens to score touchdowns on three of their first four possessions. A fourth-and-goal opportunity from the Ravens' 2-yard line in the second quarter was crucial, as it prevented the Titans from narrowing the gap in the half. The Titans' special teams also struggled, committing holding penalties on two of their first four possessions.

Looking ahead, the Titans have reason to remain optimistic as their offensive line continues to improve under new position coach Carmen Bricillo.
