Instead of leading 13-3, the touchdown gave the Steelers a 17-3 lead, a huge momentum swing in their favor.<\/p>\n<p>Two more critical calls went against Baltimore in the fourth quarter, both overturned by replay officials. The most critical was Jackson&#8217;s 13-yard pass to Isaiah Likely, which would have given Baltimore a 28-27 lead with 2:47 to play if the touchdown stood. It didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the quarter, a pass by Aaron Rodgers was deflected by Ravens defensive tackle C.J. Okoye, and linebacker Teddye Buchanan and Rodgers wrestled for the football as they fell to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The call on the field was an interception by Buchanan, but it was reversed and Pittsburgh maintained possession. Instead of an interception that would&#8217;ve given Baltimore the ball at Pittsburgh&#8217;s 32-yard line, the Steelers kept possession, still holding a five-point lead.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens disagreed with each of those rulings and rightfully so. But it won&#8217;t change their situation. Losing sleep over it won&#8217;t help, especially when they probably can&#8217;t afford to lose any more games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ravens&#8217; frustration with the officiating is understandable but they must move on.
