Ouch https://nypost.com/2025/12/08/sports/how-mark-andrews-cost-the-ravens-a-wide-open-touchdown-vs-steelers/ NFL analyst Brian Baldinger pointed out during a film review that Jackson seemingly unloads the ball to Hopkins as Andrews came across the field and used his 6-foot-5 frame to deflect a ball that looks pretty clearly not intended for him. On fourth down from the Steelers’ eight-yard line with the Ravens down 27-22 with just 2:28 remaining, quarterback Lamar Jackson was moving around looking for an open receiver, when DeAndre Hopkins came free in the back of the end zone with his hands up begging for the ball. Andrews’ hand knocked the ball off its trajectory to Hopkins and fell incomplete as the drive stalled deep in Pittsburgh territory, foiling their best chance to score a touchdown and take the lead in a crucial game. After Andrews accidentally spoiled what appeared to be a sure-fire Hopkins touchdown, Jackson put his hands in the air in shock after having missed an opportunity to take the lead and perhaps win the game

Ravens had 420 yards of total offense, including 217 on the ground. Every other year they win that game. Steelers had 318, 34 on the ground. Ravens had almost 10 more minutes in time of possession, only 1 turnover. This year, this team has had trouble winning game in the regular season after turning the ball over. Add in the penalties at most inopportune times, 1 leading to taking a field goal off the board and Steelers getting a touchdown. Of all the bad calls in this, excuse me, the perceived bad calls, this one truly was the wrong call. Travis Jones did nothing wrong, it was legal, incidental contact with the long snapper. That was a huge call. Then there was the holding on the last punt return that took the ball from their own 40, to their 26. Big difference in starting a game winning drive. Not that it would have been any different, the Ravens 2 min drill was horrible.. But this team, this year, played the regular season like it does in the playoffs. They best them selves with penalties and turnovers.

Mahomes, 42% completion, 0 tds 3 picks, one was not his fault. The hall of fame tight end Travis Swift, cobbled a perfect pass that was caught by a Texan. He had 2 of 5 drops, all of which were on 4th or 3rd down that would have been a 1st down. 1 would have been a long touchdown. Yes, misery loves company. Cheifs are 6-7, need to win out, and need several teams to lose multiple games. The Ravens just need to win out: still

This team needs a real possession receiver who can get open against man, Bateman clearly isn't it. There are several in this draft, 3rd round or better. They need at least another corner, Humph cant cover any more. Cut him loose or sit him in case of emergency. He has said on his pod cast that he would switch to safety..... do it if the dead money is too much. I'll give Loop credit, he is a rookie, but next year if he keeps missing extra points and not reaching the landing zone they will have to look elsewhere. Edge, Green, I know a rookie, but he is looking like he was not such a steal. Maybe by next year he will learn how to keep his balance to actually make a sack. How to tackle properly. This is clearly a two-3 year rebuild

Nope, just one. Despite knocking several Steelers out of the game, several mostly from trying to tackle Henry. This team, especially on offense, is missing toughness. Faalele once again proved he does not belong on an NFL roster..Ali is a tough kid, blocks well, but is not a runningback. This team needs to get back to being down and dirty. Ray Lewis took the ball away from a strong, young, Eddie George on the fraking run. What, Jones couldn't out muscle a 42 year old quarterback before his jumped to his knees? That should have made it easier! They got pressure but no sacks, even with Pit starting with a 3rd string left tackle and having to go with his replacement who was just called up from the practice squad and never played in the NFL! Smith played well but one play speaks volumes. Pit ran a swing pass to the edge with blocking.. he faked a blitz and instead of running to the runningback before the ball was thrown, he read it right, he ran to the front of the blocking. Now the play was called off because the Ravens called a timeout. But still. This is coaching and just more proof, Orr is a terrible D coordinator. All of the missed tackles, the Ravens must lead the league allowing a flare pass to the flat that is read properly, to go for 6 yards when you have him stopped for a loss or no gain! Fans are blamming the refs, guess what? When you fail to be tough, you stick the ball out away from the defender, which causes you to lose control. You try to rush quickly to catch the ball and get into yak, resulting in a dropped pass; Zay, Bateman Extending Andrews, who cant run any more, cant even get open in zone, another huge mistake. D Hop, why did they sign him? 1 target, thrown so far out of bounds not even he could keep his feet in. Lamar missing so much practice that he cant read a defense? You miss slants that are WIDE OPEN right away and start dancing around, when there is a lane right in front of you to take off! Even Romo was shocked. Papa is right, this team needs to be gutted and it starts with Harbs, Orr, the offensive line coach, and a lot of those free agent players. Many on special teams who played horrible this year. Why? Special teams coach

The Biscuit had better fire Harbs after this travesty, this was another winnable game; lost by ineptitude in all 3 phases of the team

All the hype about Mitchell, and that was a nice run, but he cant stay healthy, no durable, next....

Worst 2 min offense in the league. It all starts with Lamar who is taking too long to read the defense. Yes, practice makes this easier

Another special teams blunder forces the Ravens to start at their own 25 instead of their 40. Likely's touchdown drop is 7 pts A series earlier, Bateman drops an easy 1st down at the five that I am betting he out runs his defender to endzone. Instead they have to kick a field goal That is 14 points right there..mmmm

That worried about keeping Likely who cost the team another easy touchdown? Catch it, pull it tight, not hold it out for people to knock it out

This team was known for signing undrafted players; and making them into solid NFL players. Well, that philosophy has caught up with them. Who has the see four?

So Zac Orr's defense has gotten better? We talked about this last year. It is only good against bad quarterbacks. Good ones kill them.

Can't even make an extra point, should we go on?

Fitting; person foul on Travis Jones on a field goal gives them a 1st and goal Fire Harbs this team is undisciplined, in every sense of the word 1 play they score; more missed tackles, bad angles. Can't run, cant run routes, cant find the open receivers quickly enough, doesnt know when to just run. Cant tackle, cant cover, cant keep their heads cant seem to stop turning the ball over. Cant keep their feet when sacking a quarterback, cant run fast enough to catch a 42 year old quarterback This team is done

Im done

Kickoff is the 5, Mitchell nonchalantly takes it to the 25 This team, not sure they all want to win Wide reciever screen to Flowers, tackled for no gain. Flag, Stanleynwas down field, declined Middle Wide receiver screen to Flowers for 6 Game over Lamar runs out of time, cant find anyone, scrambles right, tries to loft one to Ali along the sidelines who slipped behind the defense, too shallow, too short, picked off

If the Ravens dont start focussing, especially on offense, this game is over

Cincy is all over the Bills in the Buffalo snow, I asked if they could win the div...... 2nd and 5 Rush in his face, Rogers just misses Metcalf 3rd and 5 Jeepers, Rogers dumps it down to the back with 2 defenders right there, he avoids them for a gain of 6. Rogers is chased from the pocket, forces a throw short but it falls to the ground .2nd and 10 False start 2nd and 15 Crowd nof that loud Ravens show blitz, Jones falls as he is about to hit Rogers, who dumps it down to Washington who 12 but gets pumled by Smith and Hamilton 3rd and 3 Rogers lofts one down the right sideline to guess who, Metcalf, who beats yes, Wiggina and Gilman for a nice catch and falls out of bounds, 28 yard gain. From the Ravens 33 Quick snap, backshoulder throw fo Metcalf is broken up by Wiggins Quick pass to the flat, gets 10, terrible tackling Face mask on Gilman adds insult to injury 1st and 10 from the Ravens 12. Jets sweep had stopped for a loss of 3, missed tackles gets it to a no gain 2nd and 10 Four man rush, loops a pass to the left flat, should have been tackled for no gain, Humphries missed the tackle, finally nocked out of bounds by Smith after a 5 yard gain 3rd and 5 Rogers calls a time out, their 2nd one Wide receiver screen gets 2 Field goal is 23 and good 10-3 Steelers

25 seconds left in the 1st quarter Run starts left, cuts up the middle for 5 End of quarter one

Mitchell in, goes around left end pushed out of bounds after a gain of 4 Mitchell up the middle for 2. Lamar looks, gets pressure, dances, finally takes off like a flash for a gain of 8 Slant to Hopkins is broken up, but pi called on Porter Ticky tack call we will take From the Ravens 29. Lamar rolls right, lofts one to Flowers who catches it but does not keep his left foot in bounds; incomplete Its the little things that can keep a drive going or stop one. That should have been an easy 8 yard gain 2nd and 10 Mitchel starts left, cuts up the middle for 5 3rd and 5 Great protection, Lamar throws short to Flowers who drops it Punt is to the Steelers 11, refurned to their 20, 54 yard punt

Will the Ravens defense be more prepared? Shot gun Swing pass in the flat, two defenders dont get off of their blocks, gain of 4 Audible Run to right guard, spins out of a tackle gains 5 3rd and 1 Ravens blitz, miss a saxk by Green, rolls right hits Austin for 6 Harbs is challenging He had two feet down along the sidelines, but ball is not controlled when he falls out of bounds with his feet off the ground 4th down Punt is to the Baltimore 10, fair caught by Wester Now, can they please block Watt on running plays away?

8 plays, 7 from the 11, 65 yards 3:45 Kickoff is to the 8, Ali rerurns it back to the Baltimore 26 Play fake, Watt in right away, Lamar takes off up the middle for 4 Henry left, hip drop tackle by Watt doesnt get called, a loss of 1 3rd and 5 Lamar looks, cant make up his mind, has a lane to run and doesnt, sacked for an 8 yard loss Punt is to the Pit 30, 48 yards, no return

Kickoff is to the 11, returned to the Pit 36 10:52 Wow, 1st play is a deep shot of 55 yards to Metcalf who beat, badly, Humphries and our traded for safety along the sideline. From the Ravens 10 Pass to the left to Metcalf for 6 Sweep right for 1 3rd and 1 from the 4 Back shoulder throw to Metcalf, Humphries breaks it up 4th Hayward takes the snap for a qb sneak, gets 1st down 1st and goal from the 2 Play fake, naked boot, Jones forces Rogers to throw it away 2nd and goal Run up the left guard, for 1 3rd and goal from the 1 Play fake, boot leg, Rogers runs it in easily 7-3 Steelers

Pit wins the toss, defer, Mitchell returns the kickoff to the Ravens 27 Shot gun, quick pass to Likely in the flat for 7 Shot gun, Henry to the left tackle, picks up an easyz 7, Steeler hurt on the play, Benton Under center, Henry to the left, easy pick up of 6 Under center, Henry to the left, tackled for a loss, Watt was unblocked on the back end 3rd and 6 Lamar from shot gun, lofts one deep right to Flowers who dives to make the catch, ruled complete but the ball moves slightly. His elbow comes down before he gets the 2nd foot down as well Ravens try to quick snap but Steelers get their challenge in just on time, play stands, 31 yard gain From the Pit 24 Shot gun, Henry left again, Watt unblocked goes down the line again and makes the stop for no gain Mitchell in, up the middle for 6 Ali now in 3rd and 4 Shot gun Lamar lofts one to Flowers in the endzone, Flowers nocks it away, almost picked 36 yard field goal is good 3-0 Ravens 4 mins, 76 yards, nice drive but they better chip or block Watt on plays away from him
