When they play clean football, the Ravens look capable of winning a third Super Bowl
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is tackled by Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack during the second half of an NFL football game Monday, Nov. 25, 2024, in Inglewood, Calif. The gap in football talent Monday night wasn’t as broad as the Kroenke Dome.
The Ravens’ four losses stemmed mostly from unforced errors. . Especially on offense, they pose numerous mismatches.Once they pounded out a crucial fourth-and-1 conversion from their 16-yard line, late in the second quarter, they unleashed a half-plus that would’ve beaten most NFL teams. The career of receiver Quentin Johnston may have been salvaged, with help from new coaches and a new strength and conditioning staff.Johnston does not pluck the ball as the better receivers do. While he has become a useful player who figures to improve and might become a capable No. 2 receiver, his drop Monday night of a perfect pass on a crossing route nixed a vital third-down conversion and a potential touchdown.
Coach John Harbaugh’s trust in his center, Linderbaum, influenced the game’s most consequential decision and play. For all the media hoopla about the Brothers Harbaughs matchup that improved the Ravens coach’s record to 3-0 against his younger sibling, the players commandeered the spotlight.
