Ravens Coach Harbaugh Addresses Officiating Errors in Loss

Following the Baltimore Ravens' 27-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach John Harbaugh expressed his frustration regarding officiating errors that he believes significantly impacted the outcome of the game.

According to Steelers Now, Harbaugh revealed that the NFL admitted a crucial mistake was made on an unnecessary roughness penalty against Ravens player Travis Jones during a Steelers field goal attempt.

This penalty, which Harbaugh stated should not have been called, resulted in a four-point swing when the Steelers subsequently scored a touchdown. Additionally, Harbaugh highlighted a non-touchdown call against tight end Isaiah Likely, where the ruling was that Likely did not complete the catch, leading to a turnover on downs shortly after.

Harbaugh described the definition of a touchdown catch as 'clear as mud,' reflecting his dissatisfaction with the clarity of officiating decisions. He acknowledged the league's communication but stated it did not resolve his confusion regarding the calls made during the game.
