The Ravens’ brass, including head coach John Harbaugh and GM Eric DeCosta, spoke Wednesday on a wide range of topics. Most focused on the next steps for Baltimore as it picks up the pieces and dive headlong into the offseason.
The Baltimore Ravens' playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills extended their Super Bowl drought to 12 years, with key mistakes like Mark Andrews' dropped conversion. Derrick Henry's performance was subdued,
In the third quarter, the Ravens trailed 21-13 and marched 80 yards in seven plays for a touchdown with 1:37 left in the quarter. Henry carried the ball on five of those plays and gained 46 yards. He had two carries the rest of the game.
The Ravens lost 27-25 to the Bills in the Divisional Round and Mark Andrews, Todd Monken, and Derrick Henry are most to blame.
The Ravens ran the football on six of their next seven plays, with running back Derrick Henry gaining 46 yards on five carries, including 17 yards on a third-and-1 snap and 5 on a touchdown tote with 1:37 remaining in the third period.
This is the problem for teams facing Baltimore this season. Even when you have the right answers, the Ravens’ pairing of Jackson and Henry might be too much to overcome. An evolving quarterback, the most dangerous run duo in the game, and an offense built to beat a defense in a multitude of ways is quite a challenge for a defense to overcome.
Track Derrick Henry as the former Tennessee Titans running back, now with the Baltimore Ravens, faces the Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional round.
Every loss in one-score games can be boiled down to a few key plays. For the Ravens, it was Andrews' drop on a two-point conversion

Peter Schrager praises John Harbaugh for his ‘riveting’ speech to the team after the playoff loss. The Ravens’ lack of takeaways in the playoffs are a recurring theme. Rob Gronkowski says Mark Andrews can use adversity as fuel.
Keeping Henry in the Ravens' backfield alongside Lamar Jackson created one of the most dangerous duos in NFL history. This formidable duo creates a nightmare scenario for opposing defenses, attempting to contain Jackson's agility and precision in the passing game combined with Henry's ability to bulldoze through defenses.
