Week 6 was not kind to the Baltimore Ravens. Just when it seemed like they escaped their fourth-quarter issues, they came back to bite them against the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore’s offense had an ugly day from the second to fourth quarter, culminating in a frustrating defeat.
Let’s not overreact; the Ravens started a backup quarterback and had a makeshift offensive line. Tyler Huntley’s Week 5 win may have set unrealistic expectations. You can’t expect a guaranteed win against a Browns team that is surprisingly 4-2.
Still, that’s not a game you should lose. They had the W in their lap, and they couldn’t find a closer to seal the deal.
Here are two winners and five losers from the loss.
2 winners and 5 losers from Baltimore Ravens’ Week 6 loss
Loser: Offensive Line
The offensive line is undoubtedly the biggest loser from this one. The unit did next to nothing right. After effortlessly moving the ball on their first drive, Baltimore’s five-man front had their hands full the rest of the day.
In the passing game, they didn’t give Tyler Huntley enough time. They allowed 3 sacks and 9 QB hits. Sure, Huntley could’ve processed and gotten the ball out quicker, but with your backup quarterback out there, everyone needs to do a little more.
The offensive line did a lot less.
That also includes a horrific day in the run game. The Ravens ran it 23 times and only totaled 87 yards. That’s a measly 3.8 yards per carry. For a group that usually runs the football down their opponent’s throats and milks the clock, that’s significantly underwhelming.
The trenches simply dropped the ball.
Loser: Derrick Henry
On the topic of dropping the ball, Derrick Henry couldn’t keep the motor running for all four quarters. Like the rest of the offense, he was en fuego from kickoff. On the opening drive, the veteran rushed for 30 yards.
Unfortunately, the rest of the way was a completely different story. 28 rushing yards in the next 10 drives. It was a total flop.
Of course, the aforementioned disgusting offensive line play had a role in that. However, it didn’t on Henry’s fumble. He had what would prove to be a back-breaking fumble in the fourth quarter, handing Cleveland possession at Baltimore’s 28-yard line.
We all remember Henry’s fumbling issues last year. He can’t let those emerge again.
Winner: Defense
The defense won’t feel like a winner, and I understand getting upset with the coverage breakdown on the 33-yard completion to Jerry Jeudy with less than a minute left. The defense was from the problem, though. They played their hearts out.
For the most part, the defense put their third-down woes behind them, holding the Browns to 5-for-16 on such downs. They also stepped up in the tackling department, limiting the missed tackles. And the biggest development was the pass rush getting home. The unit finished with 5 sacks and 10 QB hits.
While the loss was upsetting, the defense was encouraging.
Loser: Tyler Huntley
Tyler Huntley showed that although he’s a capable backup, he’s a limited one. He went 19-for-31 with 165 yards and a touchdown, and his 5.3 yards per attempt is an eyesore.
After the first quarter, Cleveland exposed Huntley’s flaws. Any receiver 15+ yards downfield is almost a nonfactor, and when facing pressure, Huntley doesn’t have the arm or touch to hit his guys consistently.
With those limitations, life gets so much easier for the defense. The name of the game became stopping the run and driving on underneath routes. Obviously, the Browns won.
Winner: Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas was one of the very few bright spots on offense. Sunday was the biggest opportunity of his young career, and he looked very, very good.
4 receptions, 44 yards, 1 touchdown. He was the tight end producer Huntley needed.
The rookie fifth-round pick displayed sure hands and an ability to get moving after the catch. Baltimore hasn’t really had that at tight end in 2026, and if he does more of that, he should see a growing role.
Loser: Mark Andrews
Speaking of tight ends, it’s time to talk about Mark Andrews. Again. Another game, another day where Andrews left fans with more questions than answers.
Andrews posted just 1 catch for 3 yards. While Cuevas showed up, Andrews didn’t bounce back like he needed to. The 31-year-old also added another drop to his tally in Week 6.
The only thing really propping Andrews up on the depth chart is blocking. He hasn’t done enough in the receiving department over the past few weeks. After back-to-back frustrating seasons, it's concerning.
Loser: Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop had a great start to the year. I’m going to give him a pass for this game because of all the progress he’s made, but that doesn’t absolve him from joining the losers list. I mean, when you miss a kick in a critical moment, you're guaranteed a spot here.
Loop’s missed 49-yard field goal kicked off the Ravens’ fourth-quarter collapse. The offense looked lifeless since the start of the second quarter, so they needed every point. Unfortunately, Loop couldn’t deliver.
And when you lose by three points, it looks all the worse for Loop. You must make those.
