Head Coach Zac Taylor
On his thoughts about Sunday's game: "Frustrating. You know, it really starts with our offense getting shut out. That's not who we are. That's unacceptable. Never saw that coming. I think we had five trips to their side of the field and came away with no points. As a play caller, when you walk away with no points, there's a huge amount of accountability I've got to take for that. But it was just, overall, a very frustrating day. I think we did some things that were unorthodox on offense for us ... penalties â silly penalties â that were controllable on our end. You know, we had some possessions where we had opportunities for points and didn't walk away with anything. That was frustrating."
On if they could've done anything differently to speed things up on the drive that ended in a pick-six for Baltimore that took about eight-plus minutes off the clock: "We had some personnel issues certainly, with some injuries that we were trying to balance there. [We had] moments where we went tempo, [and] moments where we decided to huddle and try to make sure we got points on the board."
On if the Ravens surprised him with anything Sunday: "I wouldn't say that. I would say it may have looked easier than it really was [on Thanksgiving]. Our defense had five turnovers â five to nothing. Early on, we kicked field goals in that game when you would like to come away with touchdowns â [the Ravens] made it really hard. So we knew people were going to say that we won how we won, and that was easy for us. It wasn't. It was far from easy. We scored on two third downs in that game for touchdowns. So we knew that this game was going to be very difficult. We put a lot of time and effort into the plan and practice. I got to today feeling really good about where we're at. And again, I'm not going to say that there is a single area, particularly on offense, that we're going to say that was nearly good enough. It wasn't even close to good enough â anywhere. Starting with me. And so that part was frustrating."
QB Joe Burrow
On his overall thoughts: "When your quarterback plays like that, your team is not going to have a chance to win. I'm obviously disappointed in my play today, so I have to be better."
On what he could've done better: "Everything."
On why complementary football has been so hard to find for this team this year: "Because we haven't been a good football team. Bad football teams do losing things. If you're wanting to compete for championships and be in the playoffs, then number one, your quarterback needs to play better than I did today."
On if the Ravens changed up the pressure today compared to Thanksgiving's game: "They blitzed less. Their front four were able to get a little more pressure, so credit to them."
On if Sunday is the hardest he's been on himself after a game: "I mean, I think this is one of the worst games I've played. I'm honest with myself and my play. I hold myself to a high standard and today didn't come close."
WR Ja'Marr Chase
On why it was so hard to create on offense: "Just wasn't executing a little bit and pushing the ball downfield, and not getting a rhythm. I got a slant on the first series that put us in position to get a field goal, and I put that on myself for dropping that pass."
On if the Ravens tried to take away the deep ball: "I'm not sure what their plan was today, but I'm sure it was not for us to score."
C Ted Karras
On what the Ravens did well on defense: "Finish in the red zone with turnovers and knocked us out of field goal range. Zero points [is] ridiculous."
On how much of a momentum swing it was not to come away with points on the first few drives: "The defense gave up 17 points. It should be enough to beat the Baltimore Ravens. Not good enough."
DE Myles Murphy
On if the Ravens' big plays were the biggest problem: "Yes. Limiting the explosives there. They're an explosive team, they've got guys all over at quarterback, O-Line, running back, receivers â you've got to do what you can to limit the explosives. I felt like we did a good job against the run and a couple contains, got pressure on them, but it was just the explosives. I was one of them that gave up one of the explosives. Those are just things that can't happen."
On the Ravens' first touchdown: "Yeah [it was my fault]. I was supposed to take that one right there and that's something that just can't happen to me or anyone. It just can't happen to give up those bad explosive plays."
OT Orlando Brown Jr.
On missing the playoffs for a third straight year: "It is surprising. We spent a lot of time in the offseason, we spent a lot of time bonding as a team and growing ... so anytime you don't get the opportunity to be in the dance, it's frustrating. It sucks, man. It puts everybody in a difficult spot."
On if they're close to being back to a playoff team: "Definitely. In the NFL, a lot of teams are close. In this league, the way it's set up, it's designed for everyone to have an even playing field. The way the draft works, the waiver wire, the cap. What's it take to win a Super Bowl? It's a whole building. It's a whole set of players focused on the task at hand. It's one day at a time. You can't win the Super Bowl in September, and you can't win it in April. You have to go win it when the game is played in February."
