The Baltimore Ravens pulled off a dramatic 35-34 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Thursday's AFC North showdown, but the winning locker room was reportedly anything but a party.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Friday the "Ravens' postgame locker room scene was more somber than you'd expect after a heated divisional win. People with the team could sense it. Pass defense owned the bad play. Wasn't exactly a celebration. That can be a good thing long term."
As Fowler pointed out, the secondary was largely missing in action.
Joe Burrow threw for 428 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions, while wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase torched Baltimore for 11 catches, 264 yards and three touchdowns.
