PFT CommenterBrock Purdy should have been put on long-term IR back in week 2 or 3
I think what it comes down to is that Brock Purdy should have been long-term IR, what was that week two, week three? ... Purdy was just like, no, I'm gonna try to play through this turf toe... He's a tough guy, but he probably shouldn't have done that.

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens.
