The Baltimore Ravens suffered a shocking 35-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, marking their second consecutive defeat at home. Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained against the Tennessee Titans, did not start the game, with Tyler Huntley taking over for the Ravens.

The team's ability to capitalize on such leads has always been a concern, especially considering their current position in last place in the AFC North following the Pittsburgh Steelers' victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Jackson's absence has undoubtedly played a role in the team's struggles, but it is unclear whether the issues at hand are solely injury-related or indicative of more systemic problems within the Ravens organization. Head coach Jesse Minter and his staff now face the daunting task of addressing these concerns in preparation for their upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
