Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen spoke about the team's defensive prowess through six weeks after a 24-16 win over the Tennessee Titans in London

"We always say, if the offense can't score, they can't win so as long as we do our job, keep them out of the end zone, we have a pretty good shot at winning," Queen said. "The field goals, that's what we're preaching on now, is just not even letting them get into field goal range. So trying to take that away. There's a few plays here and there that we can clean up and you know shut that down but for the most part, we're pretty proud of the way we play and there's just a few plays to clean up here and there."

Queen had himself a day across the pond, recording nine tackles, seven of which were solo, a sack, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit.

The Ravens' defense has done a pretty good job of keeping opponents off the board, limiting opposing teams to 15.2 points per game through six games, the fourth-best mark in the NFL. In terms of yards, Baltimore is even better defensively this season. It has only allowed 260.8 yards per game in the first six games, good for second-best in the league. 

At 4-2, the Ravens sit atop the AFC North with all the other teams having three wins. The Cincinnati Bengals are in fourth at 3-3 while the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers are both 3-2 due to their respective bye situations. 

Next up for Baltimore is a home game at M&T Bank Stadium against the Detroit Lions on Sunday at 1 p.m.
