Ravens studs and duds from crushing Week 17 loss to Rams
By Kristen Wong
The Baltimore Ravens seem to be suffering from a particularly painful malady in 2021: close games that turn into heartbreaking losses.
They lost to the Steelers by one.
They lost to the Browns by two.
They lost to the Packers by one.
And now, the Ravens have lost to the Los Angeles Rams 20-19 in Week 17.
Baltimore headed into the matchup as the underestimated underdogs but emerged as competitive adversaries against Matthew Stafford and Co.
The Ravens held the lead up until the fourth quarter when their battered roster started to show signs of weakness.
Too many games for Baltimore have been lost in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately, Week 17 will just be added to the archive of could-have-beens.
Still, there’s a lot to like about the Ravens’ performance against one of the most dangerous teams in the league.
Here are the studs and duds from Week 17.
