OTL: NFL Says They Got Interception Overturn Wrong in Ravens-Steelers

Wednesday, February 25, 2026 10:09
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


With the week of the 2026 NFL Combine here, Ravens fans knew there’d be a flurry of news as members of the Baltimore staff met with the media. To kick off the week, however, much of that was disheartening:

On Tuesday, however, much of that outlook changed. Both GM Eric DeCosta and HC Jesse Minter met with the media, providing insight – although it may well be coach speak – on a number of hot-button topics.

In order of priority, it was yet again confirmed that the relationship with franchise QB Lamar Jackson is well and good:

That said, DeCosta’s outlook on Jackson’s extension and OTA participation may be different than that of the fan base:

As we well know, though, new OC Declan Doyle’s offense is a mystery that we hope aligns with Jackson’s skillset and takes his performance to another level. With that in mind, we heard some nuggets about the vision this staff shares:

It’s exciting to both hear and see the confidence level that DeCosta and Minter share, but alongside Jackon’s extension lies the pending decisions of C Tyler Linderbaum and TE Isaiah Likely. There’s little doubt that Jackson will be eager for both to re-sign, but again, there were a few updates provided on Tuesday:

While I have my doubts about whether Baltimore can afford to bring both players back while filling other gaps, Jackson did indicate he hopes to see Likely return to Charm City:

Shocker, right?

Interestingly, Tuesday brought more news that quasi-involved Likely, as the NFL officially stated that referees got things wrong in the Ravens’ home loss to Pittsburgh in Week 14.

I have two thoughts on this. First, even though Steve Bisciotti indicated a playoff appearance wouldn’t have necessarily mattered, it’s quite a thought experiment to consider what would have happened if Baltimore had won this game. For one, they likely win the AFC North and host a home playoff game. Second, plainly, the NFL has to do something about this:

One note: Per Pro Football Talk, the NFL says the Likely catch was NOT one of the wrong ones Troy Vincent was discussing.

UPDATE 8:39 a.m. ET: An NFL spokesman clarified with PFT that while the Likely play was discussed in detail, it was not one of the handful that Vincent was referring to that the league would like to have back.

Another call later in the game, however…

UPDATE: 11:34 a.m. ET: The NFL has confirmed that Vincent did acknowledge another play in that Steelers-Ravens game, an interception thrown by Aaron Rodgers, was ruled correctly on the field and should not have been overturned on replay.

Remember, the league had already admitted they made an incorrect personal foul call on a Steelers field goal that resulted in Pittsburgh’s drive continuing for a touchdown.

No use crying over spilled milk I suppose, but…come ON.

Either way, Baltimore has a number of issues as it looks ahead on the defensive side of the ball. One of the offseason’s biggest dominoes will be the health of DT Nnamdi Madubuike, about which there was no update:

There were updates on Marlon Humphrey and Roquan Smith, though, who EDC stated are likely to return next season, with no ongoing talks around contract statuses:

Personally, I feel both should return (though the cap hit is a different story). We’ve talked so much about how defensive players could take a leap under Minter’s tutelage, so why can’t Humphrey and Smith? As Dev Panchwagh notes, Humphrey still has value in the slot, and if younger CBs emerge, why can’t Baltimore fit him in?

Time will tell, but there’s plenty of reason to be excited about the future of the Ravens franchise, even with some major decisions looming. Onward!
