The Ravens (7-4) will rethink their offense after a disastrous 18-16 loss to the Steelers (8-2) on Sunday afternoon.
The NFL’s No. 1 ranked quarterback in QBR, Lamar Jackson, was just 16-33 passing for 207 yards (6.3 avg), one touchdown, one interception, and a 66.1 rating, the lowest of this season. Jackson will have to wait a few weeks to get that much-needed win over the Steelers after the Ravens sputtered in neutral for most of the afternoon in an 18-16 loss to Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium.
The Steelers held the Ravens ‘ top-ranked offense to 329 yards and just 124 yards rushing. Justin Tucker’s two missed field goals will further magnify the two-point loss. On the day, Tucker was 1-3 on field goal attempts, while Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was a perfect 6-6, including a 57-yard field goal.
The grades are via PFF, and we’re looking at the highest and lowest-graded players from Sunday’s loss.
