Ravens Collapse Again: Blow Double-Digit Lead

The Baltimore Ravens saw their win streak halted in Week 6 of the 2026 regular season, succumbing to the Cleveland Browns 13-10 on the road. The loss occurred despite the Ravens entering the game as favorites, even with franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson sidelined due to an ankle injury. This marks the second instance this season where the Ravens relinquished a double-digit lead against an opponent perceived as inferior.

Several Ravens players delivered standout performances amidst the defeat. Defensive end Trey Hendrickson made an immediate impact in his return from finger surgery, recording a sack and eight pressures. Tight end Josh Cuevas set career highs with four catches for 44 yards and his first touchdown. Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike continued his dominant play with a half-sack and two quarterback hits, while wide receiver Jakobi Lane, returning from injured reserve, was a reliable chain-mover with four catches for first downs.

Defensive backs Kyle Hamilton and Keyon Martin also displayed strong efforts. Hamilton posted seven tackles, including three for a loss, and Martin recorded three tackles, a crucial tackle for loss, a pass breakup, and his first sack of the season, despite being on the wrong end of a controversial defensive pass interference call. Veteran defensive end Calais Campbell achieved a personal milestone, becoming one of the oldest players to record a sack at 40 years old. Linebackers Roquan Smith and Trenton Simpson, along with cornerback Nate Wiggins, also contributed significantly with tackles and key plays.

Conversely, the Ravens' offensive line struggled significantly in run blocking, holding the team under 100 rushing yards for the first time this season. Kicker Tyler Loop missed a critical 49-yard attempt, and quarterback Tyler Huntley's inconsistency led to missed targets and poor decisions. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's play-calling adjustments failed to counter the Browns' defensive strategies. Running back Derrick Henry, despite a strong start, faced consistent pressure and fumbled in a pivotal moment, setting up the Browns for their game-tying touchdown. The "anti-chokers" narrative was reinforced, as this was the Ravens' 17th blown double-digit lead since 2018.
