The first part of the Ravens-Steelers game on Wednesday ended with the end of Baltimore time, as the third and goal pass in the final zone was incomplete. Not for Stevers ’tactics, if the clock was running half late, the Ravens would have enough time to run a fourth-goal game.
With the ball out of the Ravens timeout and on the 1-yard line, Baltimore sank into the line and he stuck on the second and goal. The Ravens should have had enough time to run two more plays, but the Steelers players purposely kept the Rains players at the top of the pile, stopping them from lining up until about 18 seconds out of the clock and there was enough time. One more game.
Former NFL referee Terry M. A Cowley said on NBC Broadcast that the Stutters should be flagged for delaying the game, but officials let him go with it.
Ravens coach John Harbo was not happy with that.
“We knew we had enough time to run two plays; Run, we hope he scores, ”Harboff said, by Baltimore Sun.. “If that didn’t happen, we had a quick game pass that would be run fast. It would be a quick throw, so we would have time to expire if time was incomplete. I think if you put it this way on the ground, you’re injured, or late in the game. So, it is [a] Very clear cut type of deal, and that’s what we felt about it. “
Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III said the Steelers stayed on the pile on purpose, but he also blamed himself.
“The problem was that the clock was ticking down because they were just laying on top of our guys, not letting them stand up. So, we stopped this play,” he said. “We had plans to run that other play, and that Was open.so, we have not just finished.We have not just completed its execution.I put it on me.I could have thrown a better ball and made it easier.At the end of the day, the hindsight is 20/20. We called two plays. We knew what we were going to do, and we both ran. We just didn’t hang them. “
The Ravens lost 19-14 and lost seven points before halftime.
