“They have a lot of known rushers. They have DBs and linebackers who can rush. They have interior pass rush, edge rush. They’re a very complete unit. They played the way that they have played all season, so there weren’t any surprises out there. We just didn’t execute well enough tonight.”
On Ravens WR Zay Flowers’ end-around rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter:
“We were in a get-the-ball-back defense and they cut back on our guy. We knew that [Ravens QB] Lamar [Jackson] was going to be involved in the run game, we took away that aspect of it. Just got beat, man-on-man, on the cutback.”
On the fourth-and-sixth in the fourth quarter that led to an intentional grounding and what the Ravens’ defense presented:
“They brought a zero [blitz], which is what they do. We didn’t pick it up well enough and make the right timing with the route and the quarterback. Credit to Baltimore, they made the winning plays tonight.”
On the Ravens’ defense and their versatility:
“They have a very complete unit, and [Ravens CB] Marlon Humphrey wasn’t even out there tonight. A very complete unit, front seven and back seven. We were right there in the fourth quarter with a chance to win, despite three turnovers. That’s where our season’s been.”
