It is assumed that Bisciotti was not pleased with the 23-16 defeat to Pittsburgh. The Ravens maintained their proximity to the game but never showed any convincing signs of winning.

Among the 70,997 fans who departed feeling as though another season had ended and the Ravens would miss the playoffs for the fifth time in six years were the Ravens supporters, who were almost as significant.

After the game, in a fit of wrath, he may have dismissed him for a short while, but he will control his own impatience and let Harbaugh finish the season before deciding his future.

After all, in a subpar league with clubs like the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, and Cincinnati Bengals still on the schedule, it makes little sense to basically give up barely after the halfway mark of the season.

Before an owner fires a coach, the most crucial question to find out is whether the players have turned on Harbaugh. And then inquire as to whether there is disagreement in the locker room and if they are pointing fingers.

With this team, none of that is happening. It’s true that some players dislike Harbaugh, but this is true of any head coach; there isn’t a widespread uprising.

Why the Bengals retained coach Marvin Lewis following a 7-9 campaign the previous year was one of the frequently discussed questions throughout the offseason. The solution was easy to understand. His team gave him their all and performed well for him. They demonstrated this in the 2017 season’s penultimate game, defeating the Ravens on one of the game’s final plays despite already being eliminated from the postseason chase.
