Welcome in to Ravens Press Pass, the Ravens loss to Cleveland Browns 33 to 31 at home. Let's hear from head coach John Harbaugh about the loss.

John Harbaugh (1:21)

I'm proud of our guys. I thought we played very hard. We fought, we competed, but we did not play well enough. We did not play the kind of winning football that we need to play to win a game like that.

Different situations, all three phases and the coaching staff. So, we got to put it behind us.

It's a long season in the NFL. You have games like this. You do lose games like this in this league. And we've got to bounce back and play our best football on Thursday night. What questions you have?

SPEAKER_6 (1:52)

John, you guys have been so good at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Disappointing in the fourth quarter not to be able to control things a little bit better running the ball or stopping on.

John Harbaugh (2:00)

Sure, yeah, it's something that would have been very valuable in this game, to stop to run better and to get the run game going just a little bit better. But we weren't able to do it. We tried, but we weren't able to.

SPEAKER_7 (2:11)

John, it looked like you went away from Keaton Mitchell later in the game after an explosive first quarter. Was that just due to play calling in the game situation or is he dealing with any injury or anything?

John Harbaugh (2:21)

No, it's just kind of the way it went as far as the play calling. It wasn't part of the plan or anything like that.

I don't have any updates on that right now.

SPEAKER_8 (2:36)

Did Siegel, what were they doing? It seemed like the middle of the field defensively was giving and in trouble, those guys opened. Was there anything specific they were doing there?

John Harbaugh (2:43)

Yeah, we didn't play our specific zone coverages there, our split safety coverages very well, and that's what happened.

SPEAKER_9 (2:52)

John, did, what's the intention of you guys stunning quite a bit, because it's like you straight up the middle each time, you got to stun him?

John Harbaugh (2:59)

Big part of the emphasis in the plan was to keep him in the pocket, retrace, tackle him, coming back on the middle. You know, when we took off and we called the front door, that's when he ran, and we didn't want to let him get out of there, and he still did it. So that's something that was disappointing.

SPEAKER_10 (3:16)

John, especially recently when you guys got up, you've done a really good job at finishing the games, kind of, you know, expanding on that lead. You were up 14 in the fourth quarter. What was the difference, do you think, in this game?

John Harbaugh (3:27)

Well, I mean, you saw the fourth quarter game. You saw the plays that were made. You know, the plays that were made, and we weren't able to finish it, you know, in terms of offensively the one drive late in the fourth quarter there where we had to punt and then not get them stopped in the turnover.

So that's it. It's the plays that are made in the game.

You know, I'm sure for Kyle, it's great. It's great to see it. You know, those kind of individual things are valued, you know, but when you don't win the game, it's not something that you really think about as much. I'm sure he's not thinking about that much either, but I'm sure he'll look back on it someday and be proud of that.
