The Baltimore Ravens have been scraping by ever since quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a left ankle sprain in a Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Ravens couldn't find an answer to the Cleveland Browns defense on Sunday, losing 13-10 on the road. Baltimore had a couple of costly miscues in the fourth quarter while leading 10-3.
Kicker Tyler Loop missed a 49-yard field goal attempt wide left. On the Ravens’ next offensive possession, running back Derrick Henry fumbled the ball at the Baltimore 28-yard line. The Browns scored a touchdown seven plays later to tie the game up.

Minter said he was frustrated by the response of his defense following the fumble. "He (Henry) just said something about it," Minter said.
"You know, nobody works harder. Nobody works harder at ball security and does those things. It was a good play by them.
"I'd like for us to be able to rise up and get a stop right there and have each other's back; we weren't able to do that. So it becomes an even bigger play when you're not able to kind of back it up with the defense, so basically (it is) what it is." Henry led the Ravens in rushing with 58 yards on 17 carries. Henry's fumble was the lone turnover of the game.
Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley finished the day going 19 of 31 passing for 165 yards and one touchdown while adding 28 yards on the ground. Baltimore scored all 10 of their points on their first two drives. From the second quarter on, the Ravens punted seven times.
