Ravens’ Struggles Continue With 44-10 Loss To Texans

The Baltimore Ravens' season took another downturn on Sunday, as they suffered a 44-10 defeat to the Houston Texans at home. This loss marked the Ravens' fourth consecutive setback, leaving them with a 1-4 record and placing them at the bottom of the AFC North division.

The game was a disaster from the start. The Ravens' defense, already depleted by injuries to key players like Marlon Humphrey, Chidobe Awuzie, Kyle Hamilton, and Roquan Smith, was unable to contain the Texans' offense. Houston capitalized on the Ravens' defensive lapses, scoring 44 points—the most ever allowed by Baltimore in a home game.

Offensively, the Ravens couldn't find their rhythm. Quarterback Lamar Jackson struggled throughout the game, failing to lead the team to any significant scoring drives. The Ravens' only touchdown came late in the fourth quarter, a mere consolation in an otherwise dismal performance.

Head coach John Harbaugh addressed the team's struggles post-game, emphasizing the need for unity and improvement. He dismissed the idea of making staff changes, stating that the focus should be on collective effort and performance. Harbaugh expressed disappointment in the team's effort, noting that the available players underperformed despite their capabilities.

Looking ahead, the Ravens face a challenging schedule. They will need to regroup and address both their defensive and offensive shortcomings if they hope to turn their season around. With the Los Angeles Rams up next, the Ravens have little time to make adjustments and find a path back to competitiveness in the AFC North.
