Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson expressed his frustration once again after a tough loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11, suggesting his team only had itself to blame for the defeat.
The Steelers triumphed 18-16 at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, despite failing to score a touchdown. While the Ravens outgained the Steelers 329-303, their offensive performance was at its lowest point of the season. Baltimore also committed 12 penalties and turned the ball over three times, which ultimately sealed their fate.
Jackson aired his disappointment with these costly mistakes after the game, hinting that the team might have been overly hyped for the matchup.
This loss raises concerns for the Ravens, who continue to struggle in critical games. Jackson has previously expressed his drive to win a Super Bowl, but the team has faced repeated early playoff exits. Although this wasn’t a postseason game, it was against one of their most formidable rivals, the Steelers. Worse still, Pittsburgh has now won seven of their last eight meetings against Baltimore.
Despite the setback, the Ravens remain 7-4 and in a solid position for playoff contention, though the Steelers lead the AFC North with an 8-2 record. The main takeaway from this loss is that Baltimore needs to stay composed in high-stakes situations if Jackson’s assessment holds true.
