Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said yesterday he planned to submit film to the NFL office in New York of what he believes were questionable calls in the Ravens’ 27-21 loss to the Patriots Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
Harbaugh suggested Patriots quarterback Tom Brady got preferential treatment from the officiating crew over his own quarterback, Joe Flacco.
The Ravens were penalized twice for roughing the passer, each one helping set up a New England touchdown in the first half. The first went against lineman Haloti Ngata (for contact to the head), and the second went against linebacker Terrell Suggs (for contact to the knees).
The Patriots were credited with 10 quarterback hits and a pair of sacks, both by Mike Wright, who was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness for a helmet-to-helmet blow on Flacco. Harbaugh said Flacco “got hit [six] different times hard, and there was one call.’’

After the San Diego Chargers bent the Ravens’ defense all game, it was Ray Lewis who broke them in the end. Shooting an inside gap on “fourth down-and-game,” Lewis wrapped his arms around running back Darren Sproles in the backfield with 30 seconds left, securing a thrilling 31-26 victory over the Chargers on Sunday in front of 66,882 at Qualcomm Stadium.
The tackle by Lewis at the Chargers’ 20-yard line epitomized the strength of the Ravens’ defense, which withstood Philip Rivers’ 436 passing yards by holding San Diego without a touchdown in five red-zone trips. The play, however, defined the clutch career of Lewis, the Pro Bowl middle linebacker who repeatedly told teammates that the Ravens wouldn’t buckle.
“That was probably one of the greatest plays of my career because of what we did as a team,” said Lewis, who looked like a victorious heavyweight boxer with a white towel wrapped around his neck.
The Ravens remained perfect this season, improving to 2-0 for the fourth time in team history (the previous three resulted in playoff seasons) because of their nearly flawless play in the red zone.
