Ravens 30, Eagles 28 : Week 6 – Recap & Grades : Offense – This group was good, but could not stay consistent enough to put the game away until late. Lamar Jackson rushes for 108 yards on 9 carries, an average of 12.0 yards per carry – he also passes for 186 & a TD.
Grade : B
Defense – Such a good start but such an ugly end. They pitch a shutout in the 1st half, but allow 22 points in the 4th quarter alone. They do register 6 sacks & recover a fumble, but commit too many penalties as well.
Grade : B-
Special Teams – This group was the unit that showed the most discipline. Justin Tucker hits on all 3 of his FG’s & Sam Koch punts 7 times for 325 yards – averaging 46.4 yards per punt.
They also total 80 return yards.
Grade : A
Coaching – Coach Harbaugh & his staff have to take the blame here. There were way too many penalties & that indicates a team that has no discipline. 12 penalties for 132 yards is unacceptable.
