C OAC H H A R B S S AY S ON THE CHALLENGE OF RE-FOCUSING AFTER AN EMOTIONAL WIN: “It’s really not that challenging, believe it or not, for us on the inside, because when you watch the tape, you’re really watching it scientifically, in a sense. There are so many things we need to improve upon. We have 15 more games to play, and everybody is going to get better. We have to keep improving on all the little things. In order to win the next game, we have to get better. So, you get flipped into that mode pretty quickly when you start watching the coaches tape.”

QUICK HITS
7 The Ravens (1-1) travel to the Lions (0-2) on Sunday, Sept. 26, in a contest that marks Baltimore’s third-ever regular season game at Detroit. The Ravens lead the regular season series vs. the Lions, 4-1, with Baltimore winning three straight.
I N J U RY U P DAT E The Ravens have a league-high 15 players on Injured Reserve, including starters/standouts WR Rashod Bateman (groin), TE Nick Boyle (knee), RB J.K. Dobbins (knee), RB Gus Edwards (knee), CB Marcus Peters (knee) and G Tyre Phillips (knee). All-Pro T Ronnie Stanley (ankle) did not play last Sunday vs. Kansas City.
7 These clubs last met in 2017, with the Ravens emerging 44-20 at M&T Bank Stadium. Baltimore last played at Detroit in 2013, when K Justin Tucker hit a career-long, game-winning 61-yard FG on Monday Night Football.
7 The Ravens have won 10 straight games against NFC opponents,

dating back to Week 13 of 2018 at Atlanta. This ranks as the NFL’s longest active streak. (See Page 2 for more info.)
CB MARLON HUMPHREY ON BALTIMORE’S ‘NEXT MAN UP’ MENTALITY: ”I remember Coach [Harbaugh] told us before he made the 53-man roster [cuts]: ‘If we can sign every one of you guys to the active roster, we would.’ That’s how good he felt about the guys that are right now on the [practice squad]. Different guys got hurt, and different things [happened since then]. But when guys go down, you can’t really have that much fall-off. I think [GM Eric] DeCosta and the scouts have done such a great job of getting the right guys in place – even if they’re on the ‘p-squad’ – having those guys available and just ready to go.”
7 Last Sunday night at M&T Bank Stadium, the Ravens emerged with a thrilling 36-35 victory over Kansas City. Down 11 points (35-24) late in the third quarter, QB Lamar Jackson rushed for 2 fourth-quarter TDs (2 yards & 1 yard) as part of his 107 rushing yards overall. (Jackson also finished 18-of-26 passing for 239 yards and 1 TD – a spectacular 42-yarder to WR Marquise Brown.) After throwing 2 first-quarter INTs, including a pick-6 to S Tyrann Mathieu on the game’s opening drive, Jackson and the Ravens battled back to earn the victory on a short week. (Baltimore opened the season at Las Vegas, falling 33-27 in OT, on Monday Night Football.) Brown posted 113 receiving yards on 6 catches, while the Ravens racked up 251 rushing yards, including 77 by RB Ty’Son Williams. Perhaps the game’s biggest play came when rookie OLB Odafe Oweh forced (and then recovered) a RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumble at Baltimore’s 32-yard line with 1:26 remaining. The Ravens then sealed the win when Jackson gained 2 yards on fourth-and-1 from their own 43 with 1:05 left on the clock.
