Baltimore Ravens Needs To 'Finish Games' per Coach John Harbaugh
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh talked about his disappointment with the way the team finished in a 17-10 loss on the road to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Obviously congratulations to the Steelers for making the plays they had to make to win the game, that was a great win for them," Harbaugh said. "Disappointing loss for us, had our opportunities obviously and played hard. I love the way the guys played. They played hard, they fight, gotta finish plays and do things like that, that's what you need to do to win a game like this and we have to fight for that going forward. Got a lot of football left to be played, it's gonna be Week 6 and we need to clean that stuff up and finish games."
Baltimore started out hot against Pittsburgh, getting out to a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter. It looked as if the Ravens were going to cruise to a 4-1 start to the season with Lamar Jackson playing at an MVP-caliber level yet again.

However, from that point on, Baltimore failed to put up any more points for the rest of the game. After the team's first three drives of the game, they failed to score on any of their final nine drives in the game.
Despite not scoring any points, the Ravens still held a 10-3 lead entering the fourth quarter and looked to be in control of the game. That changed when they took a safety at the beginning of the fourth that sparked a 14-point quarter for the Steelers, allowing the home team to steal a victory.
It's not the first time this season that Baltimore has lost a game that it probably shouldn't have as it blew a late fourth quarter lead to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3 as well.
The Ravens will attempt to bounce back next week in London when they take on the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 15 at 9:30 a.m.
