The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers by the final score of 18-16 in Week 11. It was a tough road divisional game for Baltimore, but despite the loss, it felt like a game that the Ravens could have easily won had they been more on top of things and executed at a higher level.
In the contest, Baltimore racked up 80 total penalties through 10 weeks, the most in the NFL. They added 12 more to their total on Sunday, and after the game, head coach John Harbaugh made it clear that the number of penalties the team is committing is unacceptable.
“It’s definitely something we have to do. We have to cut down on the penalties – that is very important. We’ve done it before on offense. We haven’t had some of those in some of our big offensive games. Today that was a big problem.”
If the Ravens genuinely want to win a Super Bowl, they must be a more disciplined football team moving forward. That responsibility is on both the players and the coaches, as both have not been up to par regarding being ready for game day mostly all season long.
