Lamar Jackson points to an unusual factor for Ravens’ loss. In Week 11, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson expressed frustration after his team’s 18-16 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson suggested that the Ravens only had themselves to blame for the loss, citing self-inflicted mistakes.
Despite outgaining the Steelers 329-303, the Ravens struggled offensively, posting a season-low yardage total. They also committed 12 penalties and turned the ball over three times. Jackson voiced his displeasure with these errors, speculating that the team may have been overly hyped for the game. This could be concerning for the Ravens, who continue to falter in big matchups. Jackson, who has openly emphasized his goal of winning a Super Bowl, has seen his team repeatedly fall short in critical moments, including early playoff exits. While this loss wasn’t in the postseason, it came against one of their biggest rivals, the Steelers, who have now won seven of the last eight matchups.

At 7-4, the Ravens are still in good playoff position, but the Steelers currently lead the AFC North with an 8-2 record. The key takeaway from Jackson’s comments is that the Ravens may need to better manage their emotions in high-stakes games moving forward.
