Quarterback Joe Flacco said he doesn’t have an answer for poor play on the road.
There’s been a definite trend thus far this year with quarterback Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense.
When it has hit the road, it has struggled.
Flacco had his roughest game of the year Sunday in Houston.
He completed just 21 of 43 passes for 147 yards and threw two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) to just one touchdown. Flacco’s 45.4 quarterback rating is his lowest in over a year, dating back to Oct. 2 against the New York Jets.
Flacco entered the game with a 106.6 quarterback rating at home this year and 62.4 on the road. The disparity will grow even wider after Sunday’s loss.
When asked what the difference is when on the road versus at home, Flacco didn’t credit the trend.
“I don’t really have an answer for you,” he said. “I think that’s just the way it worked out. These guys are a good team. We didn’t play up to the level that we expect to.”
The Ravens scored just six points in the second half in a Week 2 road loss against Philadelphia. They failed to score a touchdown in Kansas City in a 9-6 win in Week 5.
Baltimore put up just 179 total yards of offense in Houston. It entered averaging 385 yards per game.
Harbaugh was asked if he was concerned about the offense’s road woes.
“I’m concerned about everything,” he said. “You can talk about pretty much everything today. What aren’t you concerned about?”

Flacco’s QB rating is 106.5 at home this season, but 55.8 on the road. That’s certainly party of the Ravens problem. As a team they have scored 32.3 points per game at home, but just 15.1 on the road.
