And we weren&#8217;t a good football team either. It just sucks to not perform at the level we were capable of, especially in those big games.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens lost 27-22 at M&amp;T Bank Stadium and then 26-24 in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the first game there were a couple calls that didn&#8217;t go our way. I hate saying that, but they were huge plays in the game,&#8221; Van Noy said. &#8220;Then, the second game where we lost, we battled in the first half, and then in the second half, they just outplayed us.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was Aaron Rodgers basically saying, &#8216;F you&#8217; to [Steelers Offensive Coordinator] Arthur Smith, &#8216;I&#8217;m calling my own offense,&#8217; and it ended up working. And losing Kyle Hamilton was detrimental for us. But they ended up winning, so they were the better team.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On a side note, Van Noy appeared on the \u201cThrowbacks with Matt Leinart &amp; Jerry Ferrara\u201d and reflected&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[257,11179,108367,2589,349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-416999","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-general","9":"tag-homepage-centerpiece","10":"tag-kyle-van-noy","11":"tag-late-for-work","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
