🏈 Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey said he was attempting to pitch his pick-six to teammate David Ojabo and wasn’t taunting the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I want to make this, like, pretty clear,” Humphrey told reporters after the game. “When I was running with the football I saw [linebacker] David Ojabo, a really great teammate of mine, and I was trying to pitch him the football. So some people brought up to me that it looked like taunting, or something. But I was trying to pitch him the football and there was no taunting there at all. I just want to make that very clear.”

Humphrey was not penalized. He could be fined, however.

Ravens running back Derrick Henry went off against the Steelers in Saturday’s 34-17 win, recording 162 yards rushing on 24 carries (6.8 average). Henry’s 162 yards rushing are the most by a Ravens player against the Steelers in Ravens history.

“The good thing about our football team is nobody quit, we believed all the way through,” Wilson said. “There’s still a lot of football left. We’ve got to respond the right way.

“I’ve got to do everything I can to lead us in the right way. We’ve got a really great football team. That’s a good football team out there, too. They did some good things. We fought. We left everything out there, that’s for sure. Like I said, two negative plays.”
