The Baltimore Ravens suffered a 24-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, an upset that highlighted several team vulnerabilities. Initial reports focused on offensive stagnation in the second half and scrutiny regarding offensive coordinator Declan Doyle’s play-calling. Despite scoring an early touchdown, the offense struggled with injuries to Zay Flowers and Ja’Kobi Lane, and a late interception by Lamar Jackson sealed the defeat.

Subsequent analysis expanded the scope of the loss to include defensive failures and protection issues. Defensive breakdowns were attributed to missed tackles and coverage issues from the safety position. Additionally, data revealed that Lamar Jackson is facing high pressure rates, ranking sixth in the league, due to an offensive line that ranks near the bottom of pass-blocking metrics. This lack of protection has significantly impacted Jackson’s efficiency.
