In Case That Football Game Wasn't Bad Enough, Terrell Suggs Tore His Achilles

When it rains it pours. The loss is what it is. You don’t expect to go undefeated. But when you suffer a loss to a tough team on the road like today, you’d hope to at least get out of town healthy and in one piece. So news like this is a tough pill to swallow. This is the kind of injury that could set this team back another win or two this year. When you don’t have Suggs, it’s a little easier to deal with Dumervil. When it’s easier to deal with Dumervil, it’s easier to sit in the pocket and find holes in the secondary. It’s a chain reaction. There’s a reason they pay these pass-rushers like Suggs the big bucks, and he’s still one of the best in the game. Not to mention the experience and leadership he brings to the defense. Ravens gotta do their best to regroup and get Courtney Upshaw and Z’ardarius Smith prepared to shoulder a bigger load here moving forward. What’s done is done, time to focus on Oakland.
