Roquan Smith talks Ravens self-inflicted mistakes; Defense being on same page

The Ravens avoided an 0-3 start after an impressive 28-25 win over the Cowboys in Dallas last Sunday.

All wasn’t well, as Baltimore blew a 22-point fourth-quarter lead and barely held on before a late Zay Flowers catch and timely plays helped secure a win. While addressing the media on Friday, Roquan Smith talked about “self-inflicted mistakes ” and all “11 defenders being on the same page.”

“We got to communicate and be on the same page. If we do that, we’ll eliminate a lot of the mistakes out there. It’s been self-inflicted.”

It wasn’t all bad, as Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (four catches, 67 yards) was held in check, while the Dallas running game was non-existent.

Penalties continued to be an issue for the Ravens, who had 13 for 105 yards.
