FIVE YEARS out of six. This is not just a 2024 issue.
The defense "won" our previous 2 games against Daniel Jones and Deshaun Watson but still have the 23rd scoring defense despite that. They played "well enough" to win against Jacoby Brisett (but not really because they gave up 170 yards of rushing against them). Congrats, you can beat up on invalids.
The defense gave up 348 passing yards and 4 TDs to Lamar Jackson while also giving up 175 rushing yards. They did NOT put them in a "great position" to win the game. I don't know when 520 yards of offense and 41 points became "great". In the 3rd and 4th quarter the Ravens had 4 drives and they got TD, TD, TD, FG. Couldn't even get 1 stop in the second half.
