'We Only Gave Up 3!' Baltimore Ravens LB Patrick Queen Takes Jab At Dallas Cowboys Defense vs. Seattle Seahawks
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen was quick to respond after the Dallas Cowboys won in a shootout over the Seattle Seahawks 41-35 on Thursday Night Football at AT&T Stadium.
After the game, Queen went to his X account and posted about the Ravens' defensive performance against the Seattle Seahawks
¨We only gave up 3 to em," Queen wrote.
Baltimore (9-3) beat the Seahawks 37-3 on Nov. 5 at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens defense contained Seahawks (6-6) quarterback Geno Smith, as he only completed 13 of 28 passes for 157 yards and an interception to safety Geno Stone. The Ravens sacked Smith four times, two of which came from outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy.
Seattle only had 151 total yards and six first downs against a Baltimore defense that has allowed the second-fewest points (15.6) and yards (273.9) per game this season.

The Cowboys (9-3) didn't have anywhere near the same level of success against the Seahawks offense, though they stepped up when it mattered most. After falling behind 35-27 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Dallas' defense pitched a shutout and got two fourth-down stops, including one with 1:11 left in the game.
Smith completed 23 of 41 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf went off, catching six passes for 134 yards and three touchdowns.
Despite the subpar performance on Thursday, Dallas' defense remains one of the best in football. The Cowboys are fourth in points (18.3) and third in yards (287.1) allowed per game. They're also tied for third in sacks in the NFL with 38.
There is a huge juxtaposition to how the Cowboys' defense has performed against teams with records under .500, as compared to those at or above .500. Dallas' defense has allowed 12.78 points per game in its nine games against opponents under .500 and 35 points per game in its three games against teams at or above .500.
Baltimore's defense has allowed 18.8 points per game against teams with records under .500 and 13.29 against teams above .500.
Regardless of Queen's jab at the Cowboys' defense, they and the Ravens are each 9-3 and two of the favorites in their respective conferences. If the two teams were to make it to the Super Bowl, there's already a little fuel to the fire between Baltimore and Dallas.
