BALTIMOR – The Baltimore Ravens didn’t just consider their chances of winning the third AFC North title.
Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh’s 28-24 undefeated steelworkers has put one of the Super Bowl’s favorites of preseason and the decisive MVP NFL in question.

Are the Ravens and Lamar Jackson good this season?
In another big disappointment, Jackson threw the ball four times when Baltimore fell 5-2 to Pittsburgh in the AFC North. His first six-year career and deep interception in Ravens territory earned the Steelmakers 14 points, and his ball in the Baltimore 10-yard line earned the Ravens points.
I think the twists and turns are the reason we lost the game, Jackson said. I blamed myself.

Baltimore dominated the race by 265 yards against the NFL’s No. 2 defense. The crows simply couldn’t come back if they had to rely on their passive play.
Without two starting forward – left forward Ronnie Stanley and right defender Tyr Phillips, who suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter – Jackson was often chased and finished 13 of the 29 yards of 208 with two touchdowns and two interceptions. His last pass fell unfinished in the end zone on Willie Snid’s wide receiver.

It also didn’t help the defense, which scored 21 points in the second half after linebacker Matthew Judon was thrown off the field because he was in contact with an official.
We are now in a situation where you realize that this is where our season starts and we are leaving here; from the best football team we can start next weekend in Indianapolis, according to head coach John Harbau.
Baltimore is still in an excellent position to reach the play-offs. We just don’t know how much noise crows can make once they get there.
This season in Baltimore, teams with record losses tend to win and compete against the best in the AFC.
Baltimore suffered a loss in their only tent match of the previous season and lost 34-20 in the third round of Kansas City Chifam. Jackson beat the Chiefs at 97 yards in that game.
After the defeat of the Ravens to the Steelmakers, it is legitimate to ask where they introduced the AFC balance of power. Baltimore arrived on Sunday and defeated only one team with more than two victories. The last four victories of the Ravens were won by teams that set a record of 6-20-2 (.250) in the 8th round: Houston, Washington, Cincinnati and Philadelphia.
The crows will travel to the Indianapolis Colts (5-2) on Sunday.
It’s the beginning of the season, said Calais Campbell, who defended the Ravens. All this means that we won’t do any better than 14:2. Just take one day at a time and find different ways to win different baseball games.
Describe the game in two words. An unusual collapse. For the first time in Lamar Jackson’s time, the crows failed to maintain their double-digit lead. Jackson led 21-0 when he took the lead with at least 10 points. But the Rooks couldn’t finish the game in the second half after 17:7 at halftime.

Unpleasant tendency: Injuries on the offensive line. Two entries were lost in the first quarter, continuing the pain season for this group. Stanley was taken off the field with a serious ankle injury, just two days after signing a five-year extension for $98.75 million. This happened shortly after Phillips left the race with an ankle injury. Baltimore was forced to move forward and moved Orlando Brown Jr. from right to left, with right-back Patrick Mekari and right-back Jay Fluker from the bank. This offensive line did an admirable job of blocking the jogging, but it fought to protect the pass.
An omnipresent game. The best chance for the Ravens to win came in two minutes when Jackson missed two metres and four and three-quarters of the Pittsburgh 8-yard line. Jackson wasn’t very lucky, because Pittsburgh covered him as soon as he crossed the line. It ended with one of Jackson’s most disappointing days as an NFL starter. I thought it was going to be a great game at the moment, but they just made a good save, Jackson said.
