Welcome in to the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is a good Sunday in Baltimore. The Ravens took down the Detroit Lions 38 to six to improve to five and two on the season. It was an absolutely dominant performance from this Ravens team as they show that they are one of the best in the National Football League.

After the win, head coach John Harbaugh met with the media.

John Harbaugh (1:37)

First of all, I just want to say humbly, to God be the glory. We, you fight and you compete.

And you know, we have a lot of guys have their faith, you know, and it's a big part of national football. It's a big part of what we do.

And we have an opportunity like that just to be grateful for the graciousness of God and the grace that he gives us.

It's a valuable, wonderful thing, and our guys feel that way. Also, I want to mention Muhammad Ibrahim and the injuries, so we'll be praying for him tonight and hope he's well. Proud of the guys, Mark Andrews. I don't know how many touchdowns they have. A bunch. Two? Seemed like more. You know? But that should have been. I like the way you're thinking. I like the way we're thinking. So what questions do you have?

SPEAKER_6 (2:34)

Do you feel the way you guys came out today, was this a statement game in any way for you guys?

John Harbaugh (2:39)

Yeah, I mean, you guys can define all that stuff the way you want, and it's cool. You know, we're going to just define it in terms of what we think we're capable of playing like. And I promise you all the different things in that game that we feel like we can do better. But the things that we did well, and we stand on and we build on, and things we can do better we got to take with us out to Arizona and find a way to keep getting better. So that kind of creates a vision for what we can be.

But let's go be even better.

SPEAKER_7 (3:01)

Do you remember the last time you guys played that complete of a game in your lives?

John Harbaugh (3:06)

I haven't been thinking about that right now. I haven't.

SPEAKER_8 (3:09)

Normally, when you win the toss, you'll often defer, and today you chose to have the ball. Is that a matter of trying to set the tone or what went into that decision?

John Harbaugh (3:16)

That was a win thing.

We felt like we wanted to set ourselves up so we could possibly, with the wind blowing the way it was, that we would have the choice to take the win in the fourth quarter if we wanted to. That's why we did that.

SPEAKER_9 (3:26)

John, speaking of performances, you've been around a lot of the Moore Jackson games. How would you describe that?

John Harbaugh (3:34)

Every time we have a win, my dad texts me and says, that was your best win ever.

So I'd say that was his best game ever.

But he played a great game. There's been so many great games, but Lamar got the lion's spike along with all the guys making plays. It was just wall to wall. It was wall to wall from the beginning to the end.

You know, so many things. I just think everybody's got their own unique path, and everybody wants to make comparisons. Lamar is his own unique person, style, challenges that he faces, all those different kind of things. I just think he's very determined, very persistent. I don't think he's even that happy with the game. When I see him in the locker room right now, it's not like he's all giddy in there, is he, Mark? Sure wasn't. He's thinking about the plays that he could have had. There he comes in here. See? See? Right? He's thinking about the plays he wants to get better at. So that's how all our guys are thinking right now. That's how they should be thinking. But Lamar, I just said it was, I said, my dad always says, the last, you know, we win, he said that was the best game ever. So he asked me where it ranked. So it's the last one, so it's the best one, right? All right.
