Turnovers were far from an issue for the Baltimore Ravens in their Week 2 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, as the Lamar Jackson-led offense did not turn the ball over once in the contest. The script flipped for the Ravens in Week 3.

The Ravens turned the football over twice in their home loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and both came on fumbles. For one, Kenyan Drake fumbled the football deep in Colts territory during the first quarter, and this came on his first touch of the season. 

Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, who logged four catches for 35 receiving yards against the Colts, sees that Baltimore simply must be more careful with the football.

"Taking care of the football," Andrews said after the game. "At the end of the day, it’s doing things the right way. But the football is the most important thing. We can’t have that."

There is much that a team can learn from any defeat, and Andrews hopes to see the Ravens jot down learning lessons from the upset loss to the Colts.

"It’s just about finishing," Andrews said. "It was right there to be had, and this is the type of game you learn from. 

"You grow from it and get better as a team. We’re not going to take this one lightly."

The Ravens will now turn their attention to a road clash with the Cleveland Browns coming up in Week 4.
