Ravens' Goal-Line Struggles Lead to Costly Loss Against Rams, Henry Frustrated with Missed Chances
October 12, 2025
The Baltimore Ravens suffered a significant setback in their Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Rams, failing to score from the 1-yard line on three consecutive attempts in the first half, and again falling short near the goal line in the fourth quarter.
Despite reaching the Rams' 7-yard line in the final moments, the Ravens' efforts were thwarted by a sack and an interception, further hampering their comeback chances.
Star running back Derrick Henry expressed frustration over the goal-line failures, emphasizing the need for the team to improve and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Henry's postgame comments reflected his disappointment, stating that the repeated failures to score near the goal line 'pisses me off'.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh defended the decision to run sneaks on the goal line, asserting that the play call was agreed upon by players and coaching staff.
The team’s decision to switch from Derrick Henry to unconventional plays involving Mark Andrews in critical goal-line situations contributed to their missed scoring chances.
Derrick Henry also voiced frustration over the team's inability to score near the goal line, highlighting the offensive struggles that contributed to their 17-3 loss.
Despite Henry rushing for 122 yards, injuries to quarterback Lamar Jackson and overall offensive issues played a significant role in the Ravens' defeat, leaving them with a 1-5 record.
The loss worsened the Ravens' division standing, placing them four games behind the division-leading Steelers, and their poor start threatens their playoff hopes.
Looking ahead, the Ravens will have an opportunity to bounce back in Week 8 when they host the Chicago Bears after their bye week.
