The Rams came into Baltimore with pretty much nothing to fear at all. The Baltimore Ravens are currently plagued with injuries and were without star quarterback Lamar Jackson. Cooper Rush started in place of Lamar and did absolutely nothing. Rush only had 11 completions for 72 yards , no TDs, and 1 interception. Rush finished with a horrible 44.2 passer rating. Rush was basically useless.
Eventually Rush was benched and replaced by Tyler Huntley. Huntley looked a little bit better than Rush and finished with a passer rating of 76.53. Huntley threw for 68 yards which was almost as much as Rush even though he had way less time to play. By the time Huntley got in the game it was too little to late because Rams knew we would have to pass at that point.
Derrick Henry had a decent day but never made it into the end zone. Henry rushed for 122 yards on 24 carries. They Ravens had opportunities to score on the goal line but Monken decided to be cute and do a couple of failed tush pushes. Probably the worse attempts at the tush push I ever seen in my life. Should have let Henry get a some running room and fed him 4 times in a row instead. Ravens left a lot of would be points on the board in this low scoring contest.
The Ravens defense looked improved except for a dumb call where they dropped nine and only had 2 pass rushers. What the hell was Zach Orr thinking on that one? Stafford had enough time write a book in the pocket on that play. Well at least the defense only gave up 17 points today instead of the usualy 35+. 17 points was great considering all the fumbles and turnovers by the offense and special teams.
FINAL SCORE: Ravens 3 Rams 17
Baltimore Ravens Can't Tush Push!
