Ravens TE Isaiah Likely offers explanation for offensive struggles during Saturday’s practice

The Baltimore Ravens’ offense went through major struggles during Saturday’s training camp practice. All in all the unit threw nine interceptions as a whole, with the defense winning the day rather convincingly.

He mentioned that the day was spent trying to execute third-and-long plays, which is an uphill climb for the offensive unit and usually favors the defensive side of the ball.

I mean, you could say the defense won, but in my head, we don’t really lose, we just learn.”
