John Harbaugh: ‘It’s A Pretty Clear-Cut Type Of Deal’ Steelers Were Guilty Of Delay Of Game At End Of First Half

One of the most curious sequences in a very curious game yesterday between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens came at the end of the first half, with the hometeam Steelers protecting a 12-7 lead and trying to take it into the locker room with them.

Retaking possession with nearly four and a half minutes to play and two timeouts, the Ravens only narrowly avoided an early three and out thanks to an improbably Robert Griffin III scramble that he was able to turn into a 39-yard gain and flip the field.

That put them on the cusp of field goal range, and yet were trapped in another 3rd and long until Justice Hill found space for 19 yards to set up 1st and goal from the four.
