The Ravens are looking to bounce back from a tough Thursday night loss to the struggling Miami Dolphins.
Baltimore’s offense looked like it was stuck in neutral during the 22-10 loss.
Jackson struggled a bit through the air finishing 26-43 for 238 yards with a touchdown and a pick. Meanwhile, the Ravens rushing offense also had trouble getting going. Baltimore’s four ballcarriers combined for just 94 yards on 23 carries.
The team cut ties with running Le’Veon Bell on Tuesday. Though he reportedly could return to the Ravens’ practice squad.
this hurts, but it’s been a blessing to be here to say the least, i’ve enjoyed every second of this short period & gotta whole new meaning of what this city is like & it’s a great place to be 🖤💜 I appreciate Eric Decasta & John Harbaugh for the opportunity to be called an Raven pic.twitter.com/428poGYsNO
