The Baltimore Ravens were beat by the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-13 in a battle that was decided in the final minute. The Ravens had multiple chances to put the game away in the second half, but could only muster a field goal in the period. They failed to capitalize on a kickoff return by running back Justice Hill in the fourth quarter that had the ball in Steelers territory and had the punt the ball away after gaining negative-two yards on the next three plays
In his weekly Monday afternoon presser, head coach John Harbaugh talked about the game and how it went for his team. He discussed the effort from the players, saying that he was impressed and deeming it an “A-plus” effort game from his team on the field.

“As far as the game, we had a chance to look at it. Obviously, [it was a] very disappointing outcome. Watching the tape, I was very impressed with our effort. Our effort was an A-plus effort. Guys were fighting, and running around and trying to play physical. [They] tried to put their best foot forward; we just didn’t have the result we wanted to have in terms of putting our best foot forward. We didn’t execute as well as we can; we didn’t make the plays we needed to make, and they did, and they won the game in a tight ball game. So, it’s the National Football League; it’s a tough outcome, but you move on from that. We have a lot in front of us. We have many opportunities in front of us, beginning with this next game. So, that’s what we’re going to focus on just like you always do in this league. Our guys are tough and resilient, and we’ll be back at work tomorrow with our players and be preparing for Cincinnati.”
The Ravens will need need to rebound and get momentum heading into the postseason. Any type of rhythm on the offense will do wonders for the confidence of the team as well as the fans knowing that the unit has struggled over the past few weeks.
