With less than five minutes remaining in what looked like a guaranteed road victory in Buffalo, the Baltimore Ravens fell apart. Head Coach John Harbaugh resorted to conservative play calling, a familiar story for a coach who has now blown 17 double-digit second-half leads. Derrick Henry’s fumble with under three minutes left swung momentum completely, and the final nail was a complete meltdown by Zach Orr’s defense.
It was the same unit that finished last season hot, bolstered in the offseason with Jaire Alexander, Chidobe Awuzie, and rookies Malaki Starks and Mike Green. Expectations were sky-high.
