Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe sees cause for concern with the Baltimore Ravens’ turnover woes this season.
The Ravens have not had much of an issue in taking care of the football as of late. Baltimore turned the ball over a total of four times in its last five games, and it did not log a single giveaway in its recent wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Still, Sharpe can not get over the costly turnovers that marred the Ravens earlier in the season.
“Outside of the San Francisco 49ers, the Baltimore Ravens are the most complete team in football,” Sharpe said during a recent appearance on ESPN’s “First Take” program. “Here is something that’s going to shock you, if you look at them statistically, the Baltimore Ravens are better than the 49ers. The thing that’s cost them is late-game turnovers. They clean those up, this team could easily be undefeated.”
Baltimore tallied eight giveaways over the first five games of its campaign, including three in its road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5. The Ravens turned the ball over twice in the fourth quarter of the divisional contest, with both of them coming from Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens will be put to the test over the remainder of the year, especially as three out of their remaining five regular season games will come against teams that currently rank in the top 10 in takeaways.
