‘We Didn’t Block The Guy We Were Supposed To’: John Harbaugh Frustrated By Blocked Punt

As a head coach in the NFL with a long history as a former special teams coordinator, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh takes a great deal of pride in the performances of his special teams units.

He’s not pleased with the showing his special teams unit had on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, particularly on the blocked punt from special teams captain Miles Killebrew with 11:12 left in the fourth quarter.

Killebrew, who has blocked a number of punts in his career, knifed through the A-gap on the punt block call from special teams coordinator Danny Smith, getting his right hand on the punt from Baltimore’s Jordan Stout, leading to a safety, flipping the momentum in the game to Pittsburgh’s side, leading to an eventual 17-1o win for the Steelers.
