After the Baltimore Ravens’ 23: 7 win over the Denver Broncos, Vic Fangio shot hard at the Ravens, and John Harbaugh’s response was not long in coming. The reason for the argument: Lamar Jackson’s record run at the end of the game.
What happened? After an interception from Drew Lock in the Ravens end zone, Baltimore did not go down on one knee three seconds before the end of the game, but ran another play. The Ravens had previously reached at least 100 rushing yards in 42 games in a row, to set the record for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team was missing another game.
When Jackson and Co. got the ball back at the end of the game, the offense was still four rushing yards away. Jackson therefore ran one more time with the ball before he went to the ground after four yards without contact with the opponent.
“I think that was shit, but I expected it from them,” said Fangio after the match. “In 37 years of professional football, I’ve never seen anything like it. But we didn’t expect it to be otherwise.”
“That’s how they work,” continued Fangio. “The safety of the players is of secondary importance to them.”

A charge Harbaugh refused to accept on Tuesday. “You throw the ball into the end zone 10 seconds before the end. I don’t know of a 16-point touchdown, so it probably had nothing to do with winning the game,” said the Ravens head coach.
“I assure you, I won’t even think about this insult for a second,” continued Harbaugh. “We didn’t think we’d get the ball back. I had already decided that if we got the ball again, we’d try to get the yards. And we got it three seconds before the end.”
