After getting their first home victory in 2026, the Ravens would be even happier if they were healthier.
The 24-18 decision over the Tennessee Titans didn’t come without heavy collateral damage. Lamar Jackson (ankle), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf), guard Andrew Vorhees (foot), and tight end Durham Smythe (Achilles) left and didn’t return.
That wasn’t part of the game plan. After jumping to a 24-7 lead, the Ravens (3-1) were shut out in the second half as Jackson watched from the sidelines after playing superbly during the first 30 minutes.
The Titans (0-4) rallied late, and it wasn’t until Malaki Starks recovered an onside kick with one minute, 12 seconds left that the Ravens could truly exhale.
Head Coach Jesse Minter said the team’s mentality would be to keep finding ways to come out on top, no matter who goes down. Baltimore already entered this game without outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson (finger), their most accomplished pass rusher, three centers, and more.
“It’s the National Football League, and it’s all kind of injuries on every team,” Minter said. “Nobody’s going to feel sorry for us. We’re not going to feel sorry for ourselves. We’re not going to make excuses. We’re going to figure out the guys we have, put them out there, and give ourselves the best chance to be successful.”
Here are my thoughts on the Ravens after they ended a four-game home losing streak dating back to last season:
