OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — It’s always tough when your offseason begins just before the Super Bowl.
When Baltimore general manager Eric DeCosta and coach John Harbaugh met with reporters Friday, it was clear last weekend’s loss to Kansas City in the AFC championship game still stung.
“Every single team in the league is going to have that feeling after losing in the playoffs. I get it, I feel the same way. I’m telling you, I’m heartbroken,” Harbaugh said Friday. “I’m heartbroken. The fact that we didn’t win that game at home in front of our crowd for the first time in all these years and get a chance to play in the Super Bowl.”
The show must go on, however, and that meant DeCosta was off to the Senior Bowl the day after the Ravens were eliminated. Baltimore has plenty to be happy with after this season. The city was hosting that AFC title game for the first time in 53 years. But now the Ravens have quite a few free agents they might need to replace in what should be a busy offseason.
