    John Harbaugh on Marquise Brown: He’s probably a little frustrated

    Getty Images Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown was targeted with passes twice during Sunday’s 28-24 loss to the Steelers and that usage appeared to rub him the wrong way. Brown tweeted “What’s the point of having souljas when you never use them?” on Sunday and then deleted the post a short...

    Can the Steelers run the table?

    Getty Images It’s premature to consider whether the Steelers, who are 7-0, can win their next nine games. Unless it isn’t. Look at what they’ve done. Look at what they have left. At Dallas next. Then, the Bengals come to town. At Jacksonville. A Thanksgiving night rematch against the Ravens...

    Hollywood Brown apparently isn’t happy with his role

    Getty Images Pro football in a pandemic grossly limits the ability of media to get fresh, unvarnished, and unrehearsed reactions to the game that was just played.

    Getty Images The Ravens needed three yards to keep the ball on a fourth down after the two minute warning and they had the 2019 NFL MVP try to get them. Lamar Jackson wouldn’t get there. Steelers defenders swarmed Jackson short of the first down and he fumbled the ball to give the Steelers a...

    Matthew Judon: I need to do a better job of keeping my cool

    Getty Images Ravens linebacker Matthew Judon was ejected in the first half of Sunday’s 28-24 loss to the Steelers for making contact with an official. The contact came as officials were trying to break up some post-play roughhousing that resulted in offsetting penalties. Judon’s arm hit the...

    John Harbaugh “got no answer” from officials on timing issue at end of game

    Getty Images The Ravens got in position to take a shot at a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of Sunday’s 28-24 loss to the Steelers, but they probably should have had more time for that effort. Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward went down with an injury during a 32-yard gain by...
