  • This was the first time in Humphrey's career that he recorded multiple interceptions in a single game.
  • The Ravens replaced Humphrey with rookie first-round pick Nate Wiggins.

Yes, but: While Humphrey's injury is concerning, his impact on the game cannot be overlooked.

  • He made a crucial interception in the end zone in the second quarter, preventing a scoring opportunity for the opposing team.
  • Humphrey has been performing well this season, accounting for four of the team's five interceptions.

What to watch: The Ravens' pass defense has struggled throughout the season, currently ranking 31st in the NFL.

  • Losing Humphrey for an extended period could further weaken the team's ability to defend against the passing game.

What's next: The severity of Humphrey's knee injury is yet to be determined.

The bottom line: The loss of Marlon Humphrey to a knee injury is a significant setback for the Baltimore Ravens' defense.
