What they're saying

"
Baltimore's 24-17 loss to New Orleans on Sunday was the type of defeat that helped cost John Harbaugh his job after a long tenure with the Ravens. The new staff even had its own why-didn't-they-just-give-the-ball-to-Derrick-Henry moment when Lamar Jackson threw a deep incompletion on third-and-1 in the final period.
