Baltimore Ravens

The Hilton Recreation Center is on to its next chapter.

After one of the worst afternoons in Ravens history ended with a 44-10 loss to Houston, there’s a lot to account for.

Baltimore has allowed a franchise-worst 177 points through five games, and cries for the team to fire defensive coordinator Zach Orr are intensifying.

Baltimore's loss to Houston was the latest in a string of uninspiring performances from a team that was supposed to compete for a Super Bowl.

Baltimore falls to 1-4, tied for the worst start in franchise history through five games.

The Ravens will be without seven Pro Bowl players in a potentially must-win game.

“We are terribly saddened to learn of Arthur Jones’ sudden passing,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement Friday. 

“They all feel like must-wins,” Ravens backup QB Cooper Rush said Friday of facing Houston. “I mean, it doesn’t feel any different."

With Jackson out, backup quarterback Cooper Rush will step in.

Heavy blitzes, trick plays and a steady diet of Keaton Mitchell should all be options on the table against the Texans.

As the Ravens and Texans try to shake off their early-season disappointments, here’s what to watch in the teams’ Week 5 matchup.

The Ravens will face the Houston Texans at 1 p.m. Sunday in Baltimore. Here are game predictions from The Banner’s sports staff.

Monken said he was well aware of how Harbaugh felt. And he took ownership of how the game went.

Hamilton, who played every defensive snap Sunday in the Ravens’ blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice because of a groin injury.

Week 5 wasn’t supposed to look like this for the 1-3 Ravens, who could take on the Texans without Lamar Jackson and other stars.

None of the starters injured at Kansas City returned to the team’s first practice in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.

Even if the Ravens’ season crumbles, it’s unlikely the team would fire John Harbaugh, for several reasons.

There’s a lot wrong with a Ravens team that was a hot preseason pick to win the Super Bowl. The biggest? Their pass rush.

Plenty of Ravens fans blame the team’s 1-3 start squarely on the head coach. But the best thing for the franchise is to stick with their longtime leader for now — at least until this season is actually lost.
