Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey had harsh words for his team after a second consecutive one-and-done exit from the NFL playoffs.
Humphrey told reporters after top-seeded Baltimore's 28-12 upset loss to Tennessee on Saturday night that the team lacks the proper mindset to win in the postseason.
"You've got to look yourself in the mirror, and I think this team right now, its identity is to get to the playoffs and choke," the third-year pro said after the Ravens became the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 6 seed since the Patriots lost to the Jets in 2011.

Baltimore fell behind 14-0 in the first half and then trailed 28-6 in the fourth quarter of the AFC divisional round game. A late touchdown gave the Ravens slight hope of a comeback, but the Lamar Jackson-led offense stalled after that score.

Jackson, the prohibitive favorite to be named NFL MVP for 2019, is now 0-2 in the playoffs. He was behind center as a rookie last January when the Ravens lost to the Chargers in the AFC wild-card round.
