The Baltimore Ravens’ recent loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers remains a sore point, and a teammate of Lamar Jackson has made a candid admission about that encounter. The rivalry between the Ravens and the Steelers is among the most intense and storied in NFL history.

Unfortunately for Lamar Jackson and his crew, the latest showdown tilted in favor of Mike Tomlin and his players. Weeks after the game, one of Lamar’s teammates opened up with a bold confession about this contest. Marlon Humphrey, a highly respected figure in the NFL, shared insights on his “Punch Line” podcast, highlighting the intensity and buzz surrounding the Steelers matchup. “I had to pray against the Steelers,” Humphrey admitted. “I was about to lose it.

I just couldn’t keep it together. Never faced so many o-linemen in a game, to be honest.” Following this heated clash, where Russell Wilson’s team eked out an 18-16 win, the seasoned cornerback expressed regret over being penalized. “And I got fined,” Hamilton remarked on the podcast. “Crazy.” After battling the Steelers, Baltimore decisively overcame the Chargers in Los Angeles.

Yet, in their final matchup before the bye, they suffered a 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Ravens boast talent on both offense and defense. Roquan Smith, the stellar linebacker under John Harbaugh, explained how he achieved his current high level of play. “It all comes down to my preparation, and the coaches providing what I need throughout the week, understanding what teams tend to do in different situations, knowing their top plays,” Smith noted.

“Ultimately, offensive coordinators, being human, have habits and tendencies, no matter how big or small.” The two-time Pro Bowler added: “Paying attention to these details, dissecting them, and anticipating offensive strategies … those little things help me play more swiftly.”
