If Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey hadn’t officially earned the “Fruit Punch” moniker before, he’s done so this season. Against the Cleveland Browns, Humphrey set a new single-season franchise record for forced fumbles.
Humphrey entered the game with six forced fumbles on the season but added two more in the first half against the Browns. Humphrey’s eight forced fumbles in 2020 surpass former Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, who had seven in 2011.
With a half still remaining in this game, Humphrey is on the road to tying Suggs’ single-game franchise record of three forced fumbles. And with three more games left in the regular season, Humphrey has to be eyeing up the NFL’s single-season record of 10 forced fumbles, held by Robert Mathis, Charles Tillman (the original peanut punch), and Osi Umenyiora.
Unfortunately, none of the fumbles Humphrey forced in this game have been recovered. But they do represent opportunities for key turnovers that could be the difference in the Ravens winning this game or losing.
