Ravens unhappy after refs fail to call k

The Ravens' comeback came up short Wednesday night against the Steelers, but things may have been different if a controversial moment at the end of the first half went Baltimore's way.The Ravens were upset that, after a second-down play near the goal line, the referees didn't call a delay of game on Pittsburgh for being slow to get up off the ground. Baltimore threw incomplete on third down as time ran out inthe half, preventing the Matt Tennyson Kids Jersey Ravens from kicking or attempting another shot into the end zone on fourth down. Baltimore lost the first Wednesday NFL game since 2012 by a 19-14 score in Pittsburgh.You can watch the entire sequence below. The Ravens handoff to Gus Edwards in a play that begins with 26 seconds on the clock. Because ofa number of Steelers being slow to get up, highlighted by Vince Williams (No. 98), Baltimore snaps its next play with the clock running and about three seconds on the clock. When Luke Willson dropsRobert Griffin III's pa s, the clock has run out.Nearly 20 seconds expired between the end of 2nd down and RGIII trying to throw to Willson thanks to Steelers not getting off the pile, which in turn expired the clock...no delay of game Bad Sports Refs (@BadSportsRefs) MORE: As the second half got underway, the broadcast team asked their rules analyst, former NFL official Terry McAuley, Dylan Cozens Women Jersey what he thought. McAuley said that the officials should have flagged Pittsburgh for delay of game. It was obvious even when it was happening that Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh wasn't happy about the situation, as he can be seen on the broadcast gesturing on the sideline for a flag. Afterward, Harbaugh voiced his displeasure to the media.We knew we had enough time to run the two plays we wanted to run; the run, we hoped it would score, Harbaugh said, . If it didnt, we had a quick play pa s that would be operated quick. That would be a quick throw, so wed have time for timeout if that was incomplete. I just feel Jean Sebastien Dea Men Jersey like if youre laying on the ground like that, youre either injured, orits delay of game. So, thats a pretty clear cut-type of a deal, and thats how we felt about it.Robert Griffin III, who started for Baltimore at quarterback with Lamar Jackson on the COVID-19/reserve list, echoed Harbaugh's comments when he spoke after the game. They both made clear that the reason the Ravens ran on second-and-goal was because they already had the next play called, a pa s, that could be executed quickly if the run failed. While Baltimore eventually got the play off, that script likely expected the pa s to happen earlier so that if it fell incomplete, the worst that would happen would be a Justin Tucker chip shot.If a delay of game had been called, the clock would have stopped, and the refs would have put Baltimore half the distance to the goal (a small distance, in this case). Instead, the Ravens went into the half trailing 12-7 and lost by Johan Larsson Kids Jersey that same five-point margin. Maybe it all would've been different if Wilson hadn't dropped the touchdown, but there's also no telling what would've happened if Baltimore got to run one more (seemingly deserved) play.The problem was the clock was running down as they were just laying on top of our guys, not letting them get up. So, we got the play off, . We had a plan to run that second play, and it was wide open. So, we just didnt finish. We just didnt finish the execution of it; I put that on me. I couldve thrown a better ball and made it Jimmy Vesey Men Jersey easier. At the end of the day, hindsight is 20/20. In that moment, we had two plays called. We knew what we were going to do, and we got them both run. We just didnt execute them.
