Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver voiced frustration with fan engagement at M&T Bank Stadium during a recent loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Weaver noted that the stadium felt like a funeral during a tight contest and urged the home crowd to provide more energy to lift the team. While acknowledging that the players control the overall vibe, he emphasized the defense's need for the twelfth man.

The comments follow consecutive losses where the Ravens surrendered second-half leads, including 35 unanswered points against Cincinnati.
