"It isn't all gloom and doom on paper. There's no shame in losing games to the Bills, Lions and Chiefs, whom everyone picks to be among the best teams in the NFL at the end of the season. The Ravens will feel unlucky that they blew a late lead to Buffalo, specifically. The Bills needed to have a fourth-down pass carom off one receiver's fingertips and into the arms of Keon Coleman to help fuel their fourth-quarter comeback."
"In reality, things feel worse. The Ravens let a winnable game slip through their hands in Buffalo. Slippery hands have suddenly become a problem for star back Derrick Henry, who has three fumbles in four games. Baltimore has played a tough schedule, but it couldn't stop the Bills or Lions with the game on the line. And on Sunday, facing a Chiefs team that was enduring its own mini crisis to start the season, the Ravens simply looked overmatched."
"The 37-20 final score flattered Baltimore, who needed a 71-yard touchdown run from backup halfback Justice Hill in the fourth quarter to avoid the second loss of 20 points or more in Jackson's career. Subscribe: 'The Bill Barnwell Show' By the end of the game, Jackson was sidelined by a hamstring injury, too. And he wasn't the only Baltimore player missing."
Baltimore is 1-3 after losses to the Bills, Lions and Chiefs despite scoring 131 points through four games, the second most for any team with a losing record through its first four contests in NFL history. Buffalo overcame a late deficit when a fourth-down pass caromed off one receiver's fingertips and into the arms of Keon Coleman to fuel a fourth-quarter comeback. Slippery hands have become a problem for star back Derrick Henry, who has three fumbles in four games. Baltimore played a tough schedule but could not stop the Bills or Lions with the game on the line. The Ravens looked overmatched versus Kansas City, and Lamar Jackson left with a hamstring injury while other players were also missing.
