OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — For well over two decades, defense has been a key component of the Baltimore Ravens' success.
Four weeks into the 2019 season, it's a glaring weakness.
Baltimore has allowed more than 500 yards in each of the past two games and has been burned for several big plays. The unit's shortcoming was clearly evident in Sunday's 40-25 loss to the Cleveland Browns, who capitalized on an 88-yard touchdown run by Nick Chubb and completions of 65 and 59 yards by Baker Mayfield.
The problem, coach John Harbaugh said Monday, isn't that the players aren't doing enough.
