Lutz would kick truly, but below him in the thankless role of holder, Crawshaw stayed calm to allow his kicker to shine.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">The kick is good and the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Broncos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@Broncos<\/a> have won their 8th straight! <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1e9QYLiEPX\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/1e9QYLiEPX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NFL (@NFL) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL\/status\/1990218201146568879?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">November 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When performing his primary duty of punting, Crawshaw was also calm and collected, tallying 211 yards from four punts, with his longest going for 58 yards. He would help his side to good field position, with three of his punts going down inside the Chiefs&#8217; 20-yard line.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Faalele<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/au\/nfl\/baltimore-ravens\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> won their fourth straight on Sunday, as they continue to mount pressure on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/au\/nfl\/pittsburgh-steelers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> for the top spot in the AFC North division. And they did it in spite of a subpar performance out of the quarterback position, as Lamar Jackson threw for just 193 yards, as well two interceptions and zero touchdowns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In fairness to Jackson, he was under constant pressure from Cleveland&#8217;s defensive line, as he would be sacked five times. Starting guard Daniel Faalele again frustrated Ravens&#8217; fans, as calls for coach\u00a0John Harbaugh to bench the Aussie continue to grow louder.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">How long can the Baltimore Ravens continue to ignore the need to improve on the OL?
