Derrick Henry Assigns Blame for Ravens' Frustrating Loss to Browns
Running back Derrick Henry was upset with himself for a costly fumble that led to the Baltimore Ravens' loss on Sunday.
The Baltimore Ravens have been struggling since quarterback Lamar Jackson sustained a left ankle sprain in a Week 4 victory over the Tennessee Titans. On Sunday, the Ravens were unable to match the Cleveland Browns' defense, resulting in a 13-10 defeat at home. Baltimore experienced a couple of significant errors in the fourth quarter while holding a 10-3 lead.
Kicker Tyler Loop missed a 49-yard field goal attempt wide to the left. Following the Ravens' next offensive opportunity, running back Derrick Henry lost possession of the ball at the Baltimore 28-yard line. This turnover allowed the Browns to score a touchdown seven plays later, tying the game. In his postgame press conference, Ravens head coach Jesse Minter mentioned that Henry took ownership of the loss, stating, "Nobody works harder.
Nobody works harder at ball security and does those things. Again, it happened. It was a good play by them. I'd like for us to be able to rise up and get a stop right there and have each other's backs; we weren't able to do that." Henry rushed for 58 yards on 17 attempts, and the lone turnover of the game was his fumble. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 19 of 31 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown while adding 28 yards on the ground.
The Ravens scored all 10 of their points on their initial two drives. After the second quarter, they punted seven times. The win secured the Browns' lead in the AFC North, leaving Baltimore at 4-2 heading into their Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
