Ravens Shoot Themselves in Feet Again and Again vs. Steelers

Joe FlaccoPITTSBURGH -- There are so many ways to consider how the Baltimore Ravens gave away a playoff game Saturday. And the Ravens understood all of them.

"We've got nobody to blame but ourselves," said Terrell Suggs after Pittsburgh somehow turned a 21-7 halftime deficit into a 31-24 win and Baltimore loss.

"I didn't feel like the game had to be close," said Ravens wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. "They're a good team, but I didn't think the game had to be close."

It might be fitting that Houshmandzadeh was saying that, because Houshmandzadeh made the final mistake. His drop on fourth down ended the Ravens final effort, and epitomized Baltimore's second half. The chance was there, but the Ravens dropped it.

How many chances? As a famous bard might say, let us count the ways.
