Overview
- Baltimore fell 27-22 to Pittsburgh, dropping to 6-7 and a game back in the AFC North with four weeks remaining.
- Coach John Harbaugh, GM Eric DeCosta and team advisor Tony Michalek spoke with NFL officiating leads Perry Fewell and Walt Anderson after the loss.
- The NFL acknowledged the unnecessary-roughness flag on DT Travis Jones during a Steelers field-goal try was incorrect, a four-point swing for Pittsburgh.
- League explanations for overturning Isaiah Likely’s late touchdown and reversing a tipped-pass interception to an Aaron Rodgers completion—citing the required third step or act common to the game—did not satisfy Baltimore, with Harbaugh calling the catch rule "about as clear as mud."
- Baltimore also pointed to self-inflicted issues, from a mismanaged third-and-2 and 2-for-6 red-zone showing to special-teams lapses, while RB Keaton Mitchell is day-to-day with a knee issue and G Ben Cleveland received a three-game suspension.
