The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11, falling to 7-4 and 2-2 in their division. There are many reasons why the team couldn't do its job, including mistakes, penalties, and more.
Head coach John Harbaugh went into detail about why the team ended up losing to Pittsburgh and pointed out many key areas of error. The biggest thing he talked about, however, was getting into the second and long rounds too often, which set Baltimore back on many of its drives.
“The worst thing was we just got to second-and-long too many times – second-and-long, and it ended up being third-and-long too many times. Penalties set us back too much.”
The Ravens need to be a much more disciplined team going forward, especially when it comes to not making mistakes that cost them opportunities. This has been a problem all season, and if the team wants to win a Super Bowl, it needs to break this habit as quickly as possible.
