Near the midway point of the season, the Ravens (5-3) have proven to have a championship-caliber offense and a vulnerable defense. The biggest obstacle to a Super Bowl title is the defense's late-game lapses and the struggles in the secondary.
One play later, the Ravens lost in familiar fashion when Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman got behind Ravens safety Eddie Jackson for a 38-yard touchdown catch with 0:59 left in the game. The 29-24 loss to the Browns ended the Ravens' five-game winning streak and extended Baltimore's misery of late-game collapses.
It marked the Ravens' eighth loss when leading inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter since the start of the 2022 season. That's the most such losses in the NFL over that span.
Asked where the Ravens would be if the defense was playing at a higher level, safety Ar'Darius Washington said: 'I mean, we'd probably be undefeated right now.'
