The Ravens’ offense made some mistakes in the 31-28 overtime loss to the Washington Redskins but it also did plenty of good things and was not the reason the team lost the game. Harbaugh also insisted that the game had no bearing on Cameron being let go denying reports, including one by Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston , that the two got into a heated exchange on the sideline and it continued into the locker room.
