Fangio Says Ravens Going for Rushing Record is 'B-------' During Garbage Time
Broncos coach Vic Fangio had some strong words for the Ravens when asked about them going for a rushing record with the game essentially over.
"I thought it was kind of b------- but I expected it from them," Fangio said. "You know, 37 years in pro ball and I've never seen something like that but it was to be expected, we expected it."
On Sunday, the Ravens intercepted Drew Locke with just three seconds to go in the game and were up 23–7. Instead of kneeling to end the game, Baltimore elected to run a quarterback sweep with Lamar Jackson for a five-yard gain. The Ravens were at 97 rushing yards and were in danger of not rushing for 100 yards for the first time in 42 games.
