Ravens face short-yardage challenges with Derrick Henry
Summary

The Baltimore Ravens are dealing with difficulties in short-yardage situations involving running back Derrick Henry. During Week 3, Henry struggled at the goal line against the Dallas Cowboys, leading to a turnover on downs. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle faces criticism for his play-calling, as Henry has shown inconsistency in short-yardage scenarios, ranking poorly among running backs in key metrics. The Ravens' offensive strategy has shifted, lacking the power-run components that once defined their game, partly due to personnel changes and the absence of a traditional fullback. This ongoing issue leaves the Ravens looking for solutions as the season progresses.
