Ravens News: John Harbaugh, Chris Canty Address Pass Defense's Struggles Against Patriots

The Baltimore Ravens' struggles on pass defense stuck out like a sore thumb in the team's 35-31 AFC Divisional Playoff loss to the New England Patriots on Saturday, but head coach John Harbaugh wasn't willing to throw his guys under the bus.

"I thought the guys all played their hearts out, played hard and played well," Harbaugh said, via ESPN.com. "They made plays, so give them credit for making some plays. So, I don't want, I really don't want to disparage our guys."

Per ESPN Stats & Info, Tom Brady dropped back to pass on 54 of the Pats' 66 offensive snaps on Saturday. Over the past five seasons, NFL teams were 3-59 (including playoff games) when dropping back more than 80 percent of the time.

Make that 4-59.

"The offense scored 31 points. For us, they held up their end of the bargain," defensive end Chris Canty said. "Defensively, we didn't do enough. We've got to help our guys on the back end, and we didn't today."
