Ravens' latest painful loss: 'A cannonball in the gut'

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- You would think the Baltimore Ravens have dealt with every pain in a season when they've put 17 players on injured reserve. But coach John Harbaugh added a different one after the Ravens fell to 4-9 following a 35-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

"It's like having a cannonball in your gut," Harbaugh said.

This dismal loss -- more than any of the 54 in his eight-year career -- seemed to take a toll on Harbaugh. Maybe it's being outclassed for the first time this season. Maybe it's the culmination of significant injuries, questionable officiating calls, frustrating penalties and teeth-gnashing turnovers.
