Ravens fall to 7-4 as offense sputters in 18-16 loss to Steelers in Week 11

Arthur Maulet breaks down why he’s not a Raven just yet

Arthur Maulet is 0-2 against the Steelers and said he can’t be a true Raven until Baltimore defeats Pittsburgh

Every player signed or drafted by Baltimore wants to play like a “Raven” or be designated one by fans and head coach John Harbaugh.

It’s a title earned, and for Arthur Maulet, he’s not quite there yet in his mind, nor are his head coaches. While addressing the media on Tuesday, Maulet stated, “I’m not a Raven yet,”

Last season, Maulet played in 14 games and logged 37 tackles, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, an interception, and five passes defended.

The 30-year-old Maulet will compete with Ar’Darius Washington for the slot cornerback role.

Mike Tomlin on the villainous Week 11 matchup with Baltimore

In the Steelers-Ravens rivalry, ‘villains’ like Patrick Queen and Arthur Maulet are set to add fuel to the fire in Week 11.

There is no love lost between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. Within an AFC North rivalry that burns so intensely hot it could mimic the sun, there are bound to be players deemed ‘villains’ by opposing sides.

During the Monday press conference, Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin highlighted former Steelers CB Arthur Maulet, now in Baltimore, and former Raven, current Steelers LB Patrick Queen, as two players who have crossed over to the other side of this heated rivalry.

Early in the 2024 offseason, Queen further stoked the flames, declaring, ‘I wanna be that villain; I wanna be that guy.’ When asked about Queen’s potential to embrace this ‘villainous’ role against his former team in Week 11, Tomlin responded emphatically, noting that while Queen will have his opportunity, he won’t be the only one: ‘There’s a lot of villains on both sides of this rivalry.’

With both teams hosting a variety of potential villains, including Queen, Maulet, and newly acquired Ravens WR Diontae Johnson, this matchup’s bad blood will be on full display in Week 11 on November 17th, at 1:00 PM EST.
