The Baltimore Ravens beat the Carolina Panthers 13-3 on Sunday in Week 11 of the 2022 season. The win brings the record to 7-3 on the year, and extends their winning streak to four-straight victories.
In the first half of the season, the Ravens defense blew double-digit leads in the fourth quarter multiple times. Since then, the defense has been lights out during their four-game winning streak. Baltimore’s defense stepped up, and after the contest head coach John Harbaugh was complimentary of the entire team in the win.

“[I’m] proud of our guys. It was a workman like win, it was a team win. It wasn’t pretty, but our defense stepped up in a big way, controlling the run and getting the turnovers. [The] offense was able to maintain time of possession. We could have done better at the end in the fourth quarter to put it away certainly, but I thought they got the key score in the fourth quarter that separated us. That was big, and then special teams was solid”
Health has been an issue for the team, but they’ve been getting back key players on their defense, and will continue to do so. They forced three turnovers in the fourth quarter, and held the Panthers to just 3-of-12 on third down. While the offense sputtered for most of the contest, the defense stepped up in a big way and helped secure a victory.
