OWINGS MILLS (Md. OWINGS MILLS, MD. Baltimore Ravens History and inspired another tweet about “insanity”.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey He said Thursday that the sting from another late-game crash led him to quote Albert Einstein following a 24-20 defeat to the New York Giants.
Humphrey stated that it was frustration amongst the men. “We all talked like, “Man, we just keep doing the exact same thing at the ends of games.” Not finishing games.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Ravens (3-3) are currently the only NFL team to have a lead of at least double digits in the first six games. They also do not have a winning record. Baltimore led 20-10 at the end of the fourth quarter, only to see the Giants score two touchdowns within the last six minutes.
Humphrey tweeted two hours later: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and again expecting different results.” -Albert Einstein”
In the fourth quarter, the Ravens were outscored 64-22. This 42-point difference is the largest in the fourth quarter of the NFL’s season.
Humphrey reported that players approached John Harbaugh for details to be changed, including defense checks. Humphrey, a two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman, believes that it is best not to think too much about their late-game issues.
Humphrey said, “We all want those plays at end.” We all want it. But, when we were in the team meeting, I said, “We really need to relax.” This is kind of the problem. We are pushing so hard it almost has a reverse effect.
Baltimore was 31-3 when it led by more than 10 points during Lamar Jackson’s four first seasons as a starting quarterback. In the first six games of this season, the Ravens have now lost the same number of games with double-digit lead.
Jackson has thrown four interceptions and one touchdown in the fourth quarter of this season. His QBR of 28 is 28th in league.
Humphrey walked up to Jackson at a practice this past week and told Jackson, “We are ready for you to guide us.”
