Russell Wilson calls his two Steelers’ turnover in Ravens loss ‘unacceptable’

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost 34-17 to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, and quarterback Russell Wilson felt the Steelers’ narrative was changing as early as the second quarter when he fumbled the ball.

The score was tied 7-7, but Wilson called the fumble “unacceptable.” The Ravens scored a touchdown on their next drive. While the Steelers later tied the game 17-17, Pittsburgh never managed to take the lead.

Wilson later described his fourth-quarter interception, which Marlon Humphrey returned for a Ravens touchdown, as another negative moment in the loss.

“I think that definitely changed the game when they got that interception,” Wilson said. “I thought the defense did a good job getting the ball back and I tried to throw it to him (MyCole Pruitt) on his front row. Unfortunately, I felt like the ball just stayed in there and they made a play.”

Overall, Wilson thought about those two moments, but doesn’t plan on dwelling on the loss as the Steelers play the Kansas City Chiefs again on Wednesday.

“It’s really just two negative plays,” Wilson said after the game. “I felt like I saw it well. I thought the guys made some really good plays. I can’t let that happen.

Wilson completed 22 of 33 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
