In less than 30 seconds, the Ravens had gone from a comfortable cushion to the precipice of blowing another double-digit lead to an inferior opponent.Going back to last season, six of their past nine losses — including two this year — had come in games in which they led by at least 10 points.As the 6-foot-3, 247-pound Henry rumbled into the end zone, the last player to get a hit on him was safety Geno Stone, who’d raced across the field from the back side of the play and lowered his shoulde...
