Special teams: C-

Special teams coverage in this game was very poor, as the Ravens allowed 119 yards on 5 punt returns (23.8 avg) with a long of 70 yards.

It was another frustrating day for Asa Jackson, who has been getting a lot of run for the open returner job. Jackson had another nice, 53 yard return to set up a scoring drive, but he also lost another fumble on a punt return.

It’s frustrating for the Ravens because Jackson has shown the ability to be a dangerous return man, but his lack of consistency and mental mistakes are going to make him hard to trust with the job.

Justin Tucker was again perfect after missing a field goal last week, going 2/2 this week with a long of 45 yards.

Punter Sam Koch got a ton of action on the night, punting 7 times for 333 yards (47.6 avg).
