Purple Power Hour: Ravens endure another heartbreaking conclusion in loss to Pittsburgh

Описание: The Ravens made their way to Pittsburgh for the regular season finale in a high-stakes Sunday night tilt against the Steelers. Everything was on the line for this matchup as the winner would take home the division title and advance to the postseason, while the loser would miss out on the elimination rounds entirely. Both teams had been through all kinds of adversity leading up to this game, and it was only fitting that it would come down to one last battle to determine the AFC North champions. Baltimore received great news earlier this week as Lamar Jackson was back in action, setting up another quarterback duel between him and fellow multiple-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers. Baltimore raced out to a 10-point lead in the early stages of the game, but failed to build upon the fast start as Pittsburgh kept it close until they went on top 13-10 heading into the final stanza. From there, the game blew wide open as both offenses proceeded to light up the stat sheet in a cinematic fourth quarter that saw four lead changes. The Ravens had the ball trailing by two going into the final drive, and after making the plays they needed to get into field goal range, Baltimore looked poised to walk away victorious, and all they needed was Tyler Loop to make his 44-yard field goal to punch their tickets to the playoffs. However, the Ravens were forced to swallow the hardest pill imaginable as Loop's kick went wide right as time ran out. Baltimore could only sit in disbelief as they watched their season come to an end in a gut-wrenching 26-24 loss.
