Isaiah Likely Is Eager, But Not Rushing Back Into Action vs. Lions

It hasn’t happened often, but the Ravens had a tough time running the ball against the Cleveland Browns, with 45 yards on 21 carries, including just 23 yards by Derrick Henry.

All parties involved took accountability Friday and talked about the need to improve Monday night against the Lions.

“They’re really good and we didn’t execute at a high level,” Monken said. “Didn’t coach well enough, didn’t play well enough. The tape tells the story. They’re going to make plays on their own. We just can’t add to it. We’ve got to play better.”

Henry’s 23 rushing yards were his lowest output as a Raven. Henry was asked what he’s hoping to see different this week.

“Be better and [let] that never happen again,” he said. “Continue to get better. Me, myself first, be better with the football and be more efficient, be more explosive.

“I always look at myself first. I always point the finger at me and say I need to be better. If they’re stopping the run and there’s nowhere to go, then make one.”

The Ravens haven’t had many games like that where they struggle to run the ball, and they’re looking to turn it around against a Lions defense that has given up 106 yards per game on the ground so far this season.

“Obviously glad that we won, but as an offense, we know we’re totally capable of playing better football, which is a good thing,” center Tyler Linderbaum said. “You’ve got to learn from winning, too. Certainly, we did. A lot of stuff to clean up, but we’re not going to dwell on one game or have one game define us as a team or a unit. We fully know what we’re fully capable of doing.”
