The Baltimore Ravens lost to Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11, dropping to 7-4 and 2-2 in their division. There are many reasons why the team wasn’t able to get the job done, including mistakes, penalties and more.
Head coach John Harbaugh went into detail on why the team ended up losing to Pittsburgh, highlighting many key areas of fault. However, the biggest thing he talked about was getting into second-and-long too much, which set Baltimore back on many of their drives.
“The biggest thing was we just got in the second-and-long too much – second-and-long, and then it ends up being third-and-long too often. Penalties set us back too much.”
The Ravens have to be a much more disciplined team moving forward, especially when it comes to not making mistakes that cost them opportunities. That has been an issue all season long, and if the team wants to win a Super Bowl they must lose that habit as quickly as possible.
