The Baltimore Ravens were without Lamar Jackson again in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. They had to figure out a way to come out victorious without their franchise quarterback. Unfortunately for them, when the teams took the field on Sunday, the Browns won. And Cleveland can, to some extent, thank Derrick Henry for this.
In the fourth quarter, the Ravens had a seven-point lead. They elected to run the ball early in the quarter to chew up clock. On one run, Henry carried the ball and nearly had a first down. However, Carson Schwesinger punched the ball out, and the Browns recovered.

I sound like a broken record with this, but I got to go back to work on it. I told the team to put this one on me and I just got to be better. Can't put the team in that situation,” the Ravens star said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.
Baltimore has now dropped to 4-2 on the 2026 season. They remain in first place in the AFC North at this time. However, they would be the first to tell you that this is a game they should have won. The Ravens have a chance to get back on track in Week 7 against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.
