Injuries plagued the team for the third consecutive season. Both Nick Moore and Trayvon Mullen suffered season-ending injuries before the season started and Marlon Humphrey missed the beginning of the season due to a foot injury that required surgery.[1] J.K. Dobbins also suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1. By Week 4, 20 players had suffered injuries, including all three of the Ravens primary running backs.[2] However, the team got healthier as the season progressed.

Game information

The Ravens gained 335 yards compared to the Steelers' 289 and picked up 19 first downs compared to the Steelers' 17. However, the Steelers won the game due to several Baltimore miscues. Most notably, Baltimore was plagued by nine dropped passes, including some that would have resulted in big gains and touchdowns. Furthermore, near the end of the first half, the Ravens had a 10-3 lead and possession of the ball in field goal range for star kicker Justin Tucker. On a fourth and two, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh planned to run a hard count and send Tucker out to attempt the kick and extend the lead. Instead, Baltimore center Tyler Linderbaum mistakenly snapped the ball on the hard count, causing Ravens players to be surprised and turn the ball over on downs. Finally, Lamar Jackson threw a costly interception in the red zone after Pittsburgh punt returner Gunner Olszewski lost a fumble to set the Ravens up with a goal to go situation and a chance to extend the Raven lead to two scores. The Steelers eventually took advantage of the Ravens' mistakes and took their first lead (which they would not relinquish) on a George Pickens 41-yard touchdown reception with less than two minutes remaining in the game.[19]
