00:00We bring to you from BaltimoreRavens.com, reporter Clifton Brown.
00:19Good morning, sir.
00:20Good morning, guys.
00:21How are you?
00:22We're doing good.
00:23We're doing good.
00:24Now, obviously, I know a lot of the national media goes into, let's talk about Derrick
00:28Henry.
00:29Let's talk about Lamar Jackson, and I get all that, but I actually want to talk about
00:32like anybody but those two to start off with, and I guess my question is, how are the Ravens
00:390-2?
00:40You look at the fact that they haven't lost the turn.
00:42They've got as many turnovers as they've given up.
00:44They've outgained both opponents.
00:47How did they fall to 0-2?
00:49Yeah, that's a good question.
00:51I think, you know, I'd point to giving up too many big plays at key times, and then
00:57I would also point to just the offense too many mistakes.
01:01I mean, they're only two teams that have been penalized more than the Ravens, so even
01:05though they're moving the ball well, they're having too many plays that are being nullified,
01:10too many plays, situations where they're first and 15 or second and 25, makes it hard to
01:16sustain drives, and then, you know, in both games this year, they've had a chance to win
01:22in the fourth quarter, but, you know, have come up short either not being able to stop
01:27the Raiders in the fourth quarter or not ultimately being able to get, you know, the
01:31tying touchdown against the Chiefs at the very end of the game.
01:34So two games they could have won, but they won neither, and now they're in trouble.
01:40So you don't actually think that Gardner Minshew turned into the best quarterback in the NFL
01:45like that fourth quarter?
01:46For just a minute, he did.
01:47Like that fourth quarter led me to believe, right?
01:51He's been looking like that against the Ravens.
01:53I mean, last year, Minshew beat the Ravens when he was with the Colts, so they really
01:59don't want to see any more of Gardner Minshew.
02:02Something about the Ravens turns him into Superman, and yeah, he and Adams really picked
02:07apart the Ravens in that fourth quarter.
02:09Adams is a great player.
02:11Minshew made some great throws, and yeah, it was, I think, kind of stunning to see it
02:16happen again to the Ravens with Gardner Minshew, but it did, and again, that leaves him 0-2
02:21heading to Dallas.
02:22I know by no means are the Ravens thinking about this, or maybe they are.
02:26They're just not discussing it, but how important is this game for the Ravens, especially when
02:31you look at the next two games on their schedule?
02:33Because I'm not saying this will happen, but you look at that schedule and say, I could
02:37potentially see 0-5.
02:39Yeah, well, they've got Buffalo at home after this game with the Cowboys on Sunday night
02:46football.
02:47We know Buffalo's undefeated.
02:49Then they go to Cincinnati in Week 5, and even though the Bengals are 0-2, we know how
02:53good they can be with Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and that crew.
02:57So yes, I mean, this is a huge game for the Ravens, even though it's only Week 3.
03:02No team has ever won the Super Bowl starting 0-3.
03:05Only one team since 2000, the 2018 Houston Texans, have made the playoffs after starting
03:120-3, and obviously the Ravens started this year thinking they're a Super Bowl contender
03:17and still think that way after making it to the AFC Championship, but when you start
03:210-3, it has almost always meant that you don't make the playoffs, and they don't want any
03:27part of that and would be there if they lost Sunday in Dallas.
