Despite coming off a mini bye after playing on Thursday to kickoff the previous week, the Baltimore Ravens laid an egg in two of three phases as they fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road, 18-16.
Offensively, the Ravens set themselves back and negated positive plays with penalties and didn’t protect the ball. Defensively, Baltimore had its best outing of the season in a losing effort as they didn’t allow a touchdown for the first time, holding Pittsburgh to six field goals.
The loss was the Ravens’ second in their last four games since starting the season 0-2 and knocked them two games back of first place in the AFC North.
