Well, that was one of the worst games the Ravens have played in a while. They got run on, they got no pressure, gave up seven sacks, struggled to run and Henry coughed it up again in a big spot. They gave up two 95+ yard TD drives, after not allowing a single such drive at home since 2001.
At no point did Orr try to do anything differently on defense. No blitzing. He played soft all night. Coached scared.
The defense is missing key guys for sure and you knew the Lions would put up points, but this was a brutal outing.
