Ravens have a chance to reset before a December stretch run they handled so impressively in 2023
Associated Press— December was when the Baltimore Ravens really hit their stride a season ago. That’s the first thing — worry about what we need to clean up on this side,” Jackson said after last weekend’s 24-19 loss to the Eagles. “The message kind of became a little bit clear: ‘If you want to play ball, then we’ll get you out there, but if you don’t, you’re going to have to sit on the sidelines.’ I think guys responded really well to what was being preached amongst the coaches, amongst the players,” cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. “We’re holding guys more accountable now.” Penalties have been a problem — Baltimore is averaging nearly 10 of them per game — and lately Tucker’s erratic kicking has cost the Ravens points. “There’s not much I know about kicking, but I do know Tucker is a guy to get things turned around.” If Baltimore closes the regular season like it did a year ago, a division title and at least one playoff home game are very much within reach.
