Ravens' Humphrey: Team's identity is 'to get to the playoffs and choke'
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey didn't mince words following a stunning 28-12 playoff defeat to the Tennessee Titans.
"This team’s identity right now is to get to the playoffs and choke," Humphrey said, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "It is what it is. That’s just the hard truth."
The third-year player expressed his disappointment when asked how the Ravens, who earned the AFC's top seed after finishing the regular season 14-2, should be remembered.
"As losers, I guess," Humphrey said. "We kind of just lost. So, that’s how I would remember it."
Baltimore has now gone one-and-done while hosting a playoff game for the second consecutive year.
The Ravens' total of 12 points was a season-low, and the team's offense was unable to convert any of its four fourth-down attempts against Tennessee.
"There was definitely a point in the game where I was like, 'What's going on?'" Humphrey added, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun.
MVP favorite Lamar Jackson completed 31 of 59 passes for 365 yards and one touchdown, against two interceptions. He also rushed for 143 yards and fumbled once.
