BALTIMORE -- Ravens coach John Harbaugh's postgame locker room comments about the Pittsburgh Steelers losing to the New York Jets mistakenly aired on CBS.
As the Ravens celebrated a 21-7 win over the Tennessee Titans, Harbaugh was shown in the locker room saying, "That team beat us last week and then went and got their ass kicked this week."
Harbaugh was referring to the Steelers, who routed the Ravens the previous week and were upset by the Jets 20-13 on Sunday.
The Ravens released a statement after the game, saying that Harbaugh's comments were not supposed to be aired by CBS.
"The comments made by John Harbaugh in the locker room following today's victory over the Titans were meant for Ravens players and coaches only," the team said in the statement. "The CBS-TV crew that was in the locker room was told by Coach Harbaugh that it could not broadcast what he was about to say. When Coach Harbaugh finished talking about various things happening around the NFL and in the AFC North, he told the crew that it could now use what he was going to say. Inexplicably, CBS-TV then aired comments Coach Harbaugh specifically said were not to leave the locker room. CBS-TV immediately pulled the video and apologized to the Ravens."
CBS acknowledged the clip shouldn't have aired in this statement: "We immediately pulled it down and called the Baltimore Ravens to apologize."
The Ravens and Steelers split their regular-season series, and the AFC North rivals won't play again unless it's in the postseason.
