Ravens' offensive woes could continue, with or without Lamar Jackson

Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, starting in place of Jackson, failed to get much of anything going against Cleveland, finishing 17-of-30 for 138 yards with zero touchdowns and an interception. 

However, despite J.K. Dobbins' 125-yard game on the ground, Huntley had little to work with offensively. 

Huntley targeted wideouts only nine times on Saturday, with Demarcus Robinson being his favorite target, finishing with six catches for 29 yards. Meanwhile, tight end Mark Andrews led the Ravens in receiving with 31 yards off three catches. 

The Ravens also repeatedly shot themselves in the foot on Saturday, crushing any hopes of increasing its win streak to three games.

Following a 10-play, 71-yard drive, the Ravens failed to convert a fourth-and-one from the Browns' seven-yard line, letting a golden red zone opportunity slip away on its opening drive. 

Baltimore continued the trend to start the second half when Huntley was picked off in the red zone by Denzel Ward, capping off an 11-play 60-yard drive. The Browns scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession, increasing its lead to 13-3 while also swinging the momentum. 

The Ravens would run only 16 more plays over four drives the rest of the game, resulting in a fumble, a blocked punt, and two turnovers on downs. 

Saturday's loss dropped the Ravens to 9-5 and out of first place in the AFC North, now trailing the Cincinnatti Bengals (9-4) by a game. 

With only three regular-season games remaining, the Ravens may not be able to count on a return of Jackson under center. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Jackson's "most realistic" return date is Christmas Eve against the Atlanta Falcons, but there's a "strong chance" the two-time Pro Bowler won't be hundred percent for the rest of the regular season.
