The Dark Side of the NFL
The loss of Tony Jefferson is a blow to the Ravens defense. He’s a leader, he’s tough and he inspires others to be better. Plus losing a defensive signal caller is never a good thing for a defense – particularly a struggling one.
The Ravens, along with just about every other team, embrace the credo, “Next Man Up”. It’s an unfortunate way of life in the NFL, but one man’s misfortune is another’s opportunity. And for the Ravens, the opportunists are DeShon Elliott and Chuck Clark.
