Ray Lewis doesn't believe defense got tired before bye

In the first five games of the season, the Ravens' defense only allowed an average of 14.4 points.

In the fourth quarter alone of the past two games, this defense gave up a total of 20 points to New England and Buffalo.

Middle linebacker Ray Lewis was asked if the Ravens defense got tired the past couple of weeks.

“I don’t know what that means," he said. "Unless you sit down and watch film with us to see what getting tired is, it [isn’t] about getting tired. Both of these games that we were in, a fourth-quarter, field goal changes both games."

Lewis added, "So, the bottom line is when you’re talking about defense getting tired, we went into New England and put them three-and-out three times in overtime. So, when you get into all that stuff, all you have to do is turn on the film, and the film speaks for itself. Bottom line is where we’re sitting right now, I think we’re happy.”
