Welcome in to the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Sunday, September 22nd, and the Ravens got their first win of the season. 28 to 25 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Texas. Massive win for this team early in the year. And afterwards, we heard from head coach John Harbaugh.

John Harbaugh (1:29)

I'm proud of the guys got the victory and start getting ready for Buffalo. What questions you had?

SPEAKER_8 (1:34)

John, how was kind of the atmosphere in the fourth quarter when things, you had that big lead and then it started dwindling a little bit?

John Harbaugh (1:42)

I thought everybody really got locked in on trying to get the job done. Everybody understood what needed to be done. We're trying to get stops and we're focusing on that. And then we got back out there trying to end the game with the offense on the field.

SPEAKER_9 (1:55)

What did you see from Lamar Jackson on that final drive? Big throw and then the run obviously.

John Harbaugh (1:59)

Yeah, I thought Lamar was just phenomenal throughout the game and then took over the last drive. And I thought the big throw at the end, the big catches at the end, you know, Zay made that huge catch, Bate had a big catch. We had some big runs at the end too. We ran the ball well at the end. And to finish out that way was really important, you know, to win the game on offense at the end. And that's what they got done. So that's what you want to do that in that situation. Didn't really want to get to that situation, but it did and they came through.

SPEAKER_10 (2:31)

John, a lot of the talk all week was about offensive line. You never said definitively there would be changes, but it was brought up a couple of times. What made you stick with that group and how pleased were you with how they performed today?

John Harbaugh (2:43)

I was pleased. I mean, what made me stick with it was they were doing so well. You know, running the ball, pass protection, everything was really, was really, they were doing a really good job of blocking. They took care of their pass pressures, especially Micah, did a great job there. So I just felt like it was no reason to make a change there. We had the possibility of rotating some guys in, but those guys were playing too well, I think, to do that.

SPEAKER_8 (3:04)

Coach, did you view this as a must-win type of game?

John Harbaugh (3:08)

Well, we kind of look at every game. That's a good question. I'm sorry. No, I was kidding. Yeah, I mean. Considering the record. Yeah, I mean, well, no. I mean, we consider every game a must-win, you know? But if you don't win a game, your season's not over. It's a lot of football to be played. And this is a very good football team. You saw it out there. They're very capable, they're a very tough team. It's a tough environment to play in.

And I'm just proud of the way our guys handle it. You know, we're trying to get a win every week. We're trying to be 1-0. The last week doesn't matter, the next week doesn't matter. It's this week that we're focused on. Lamar preaches it to the guys all the time. Proud of those guys. But to get the running game going the way we did with Derrick Henry and Justice and the offensive line playing the way they did. They have 274 yards rushing in to have Lamar take over the game the way he did. To me, that's our identity. That's our personality, and we just got to keep building on that and keep doing everything better, everything better. I mean, the penalties are a problem. Too many, too many penalties. Oh, you're going to ask that question. Go ahead.
