### **After Ravens' Fourth Straight Loss, Will Lamar Jackson's Return Be Enough to Make a Run?**
As the adage goes, if it's not one thing, it's another.
The Ravens' beleaguered defense stepped up against the potent Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, and the Derrick Henry-led running game got back on track.
Despite that typically being a winning formula, the Ravens (1-5) lost their fourth straight game, 17-3, to the Los Angeles Rams. The Ravens have dropped two games in a row at home by a combined score of 61-13.
This time, the main culprit was the mistake-prone offense, which sputtered despite putting up 179 rushing yards and possessing the ball for nearly 38 minutes.
Quarterback Cooper Rush, who started for the second week in a row with Lamar Jackson (hamstring) sidelined, finished with 72 yards and an interception before being relieved by Tyler Huntley in the fourth quarter.
While the defense got its first takeaway since Week 2, the offense turned the ball over three times. In addition to Rush's interception, wide receiver Zay Flowers lost a fumble and was involved in another lost fumble.
"The Ravens' backup quarterback struggled to operate the offense efficiently for the second consecutive week, and it cost Baltimore," [The Baltimore Sun’s Bennett Conlin wrote](https://www.baltimoresun.com/2025/10/12/ravens-instant-analysis-rams-week-6-nfl-season/). "Jackson's best traits are seemingly everything. He runs and passes in a way we've never seen in the NFL. Rush's best trait Sunday? His hard count. That's not a lot for Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken to use. Nobody on either side of the ball picked up the slack."
On the injury front, safety Kyle Hamilton and cornerback Marlon Humphrey returned after missing last week's game, but outside linebacker Tavius Robinson suffered a broken foot. Robinson's injury occurred four days after the Ravens traded outside linebacker Odafe Oweh to the Los Angeles Chargers. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) was back after a one-week absence but did not finish the game.
