In NFL Week 11, the Pittsburgh Steelers were ready for Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken and his predictable Pass attack.

quarterback Lamar Jackson finished Week 11 with just 207 passing yards and completed just 16 of his 33 pass attempts. More incompletions than completions always lead to disaster, but what's even more incomplete is the explanation as to why running back Derrick Henry only allowed 13 runs on the field in Sunday's 18-16 loss.

Monken continues to get into big games only to let down his strongest player, Henry, who leads the NFL in rushing yards. Henry continues to lurk in the shadows behind Monken, who is desperate to turn the Ravens into a pass-first offense.
The Ravens' defense held its own and gave the team another chance with a fourth-quarter interception by defensive lineman Marlon Humphrey. Still, the Ravens' offense was stifled in the red zone when Monken called a quarterback sweep from the two-yard line as if the Steelers were simply letting Jackson in.

What about Henry? Why wouldn't Monken give the ball to a guy who ranks No. 1 in the NFL in rushing yards? Ravens fans have been asking the same questions since the team missed the AFC Championship in January. The saga continues and thanks to Sunday's loss, the Ravens are now two games behind the Steelers in the AFC North.
