CLEVELAND – Baltimore Ravens' distant receiver Michael Crabtree has accepted the blame for the 12-9 overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday after dropping two passes and allowing a potential touchdown pass to touch his hands in the second half. goal area.
"Put this game to me," Crabtree said, picking up his bag and leaving the locker room.
Crabtree was the Ravens' largest offensive offensive offensive this year, as Baltimore needed a wide receiver capable of capturing the disputed passes.
But, while Baltimore led 9-6 at the end of the regulation minute, Crabtree, who was jumping, was unable to keep Joe Flacco's pass flush at the back of the end zone. It was not an easy catch, but Crabtree thought it should have happened.
"I had a winner that I could take in. I put it on myself," Crabtree said. "I'm going to have to go back to the lab and get back to base, you know what I'm saying, it's just what's going on."
The drops of Crabtree have become a recurring trend this season. He was unable to keep two passes in the first two orders, including one in the third.
His six throws this season are the most numerous in the NFL. He said that the problem is concentration and that he will settle it even if he has to catch 2,000 balls a week at workout.
"I am a team player," said Crabtree. "I know you know it, drop it, you know what I say, it hurt me, I have to go back to the drawing board, man, and get my … together."
Crabtree finished with six catches for 66 yards, which is a record for a disappointing season. Falls have always been a problem for Crabtree throughout his career. Since being named # 10 in the 2009 draft, Crabtree has lost 56 assists. Only Brandon Marshall has more on this period with 64.
Coach John Harbaugh, who was asked about handling a passing passer, said, "These guys are pros, they're the best players in the world, so they go to work every day." Michael will work at that. "
Flacco put the Ravens' first loss to the Browns since 2015 more to the officials, not to Crabtree.
First possession of Baltimore in overtime Alex Collins broke a 17-yard race that was recalled for a block over the waist by receiver Chris Moore. Without this penalty, the Ravens would have been in position for a 53-yard Justin Tucker placement.
"We won the game over there – as far as I'm concerned – at the end of the match and they put a lock in the back of Chris when the guy is in a bad position and he's cut , "said Flacco. "It was a bit phony, I thought, but what are you going to do?"
The Ravens (3-2) lost one game less against the Cincinnati Bengals (4-1) in AFC North.
