Ravens 'locked in' after multi-drop game vs. Steelers

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson isn't worried about the dropped passes that plagued the team in their 17-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

"I believe our guys are locked in right now," Jackson said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "They are going to be better. So will I."

Baltimore receivers were credited with five drops in last weekend's loss. Tight end Mark Andrews and wide receivers Nelson Agholor and Rashod Bateman had one each, while rookie wideout Zay Flowers committed two drops.

Jackson finished the loss with 236 yards through the air on 22-for-38 passing with one interception. The former MVP added 26 rushing yards on four carries.

The signal-caller said he didn't find it necessary to address the issue directly with his receivers because "those guys feel how I feel. They want to make a play."

Head coach John Harbaugh isn't fretting either, but he did acknowledge the drops played a role in last week's result.

"(Dropped passes) were a concern on Sunday," said Harbaugh. "I mean, that was a big part of the game. They don't need (to be) a concern going forward because we need to take care of business in that area. That's what receivers do. They catch the ball."

The 61-year-old coach added that the Ravens' weapons "are going to catch those balls 99 out of 100 times."
