Alex Collins receives vote of confidence after another fumble

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Alex Collins leads the NFL with four lost fumbles over the past two seasons, but his issues with ball security won’t affect his status as the Baltimore Ravens' starting running back.

Coach John Harbaugh gave a vote of confidence to Collins on Monday, a day after he fumbled at the 1-yard line in Sunday’s 26-14 win in Pittsburgh.

"Alex is a trustworthy guy,” Harbaugh said. "I fully expect him to clean that up real quick.”

In the past, Harbaugh has benched running backs for not being able to hold onto the ball.
